Assignment Bowie, Burroughs, Gysin & Permutated Prose: The Cut-Up Method
Overview
In this assignment you are required to implement your own Python application which emulates the "Cut-Up" method and follows the six steps of problem solving. You will apply a suitable metric to the finished text.
Learning Outcome
The following course learning outcomes are assessed by completing this assessment:
Knowledge:
K1. Identify and use the correct syntax of a common programming language.
K2. Recall and use typical programming constructs to design and implement simple software solutions.
K4. Explain the importance of programming style concepts (documentation, mnemonic names, indentation).
Skills:
S1. Utilise pseudocode and/or algorithms as a major program design technique.
S2. Write and implement a solution algorithm using basic programming constructs.
S4. Describe program functionality based on analysis of given program code.
Application of knowledge and skills
A1 : Develop self-reliance and judgement in adapting algorithms to diverse contexts A2: Design and write program solutions to identified problems using accepted design constructs.
Your Task
Start with a text - you are free to choose any text - a good suggestion is Alice in Wonderland8 a paragraph from chapter 1 is attached below.
Using the skills in Python that you have developed, you are to write an application that will read in some text and then perform a Cut-Up operation on it.
One metric that we can use is to check the readability of the text. To do this just select the Spelling & Grammar feature - this will display the readability of the text - and of the Cut-Up:
Assessment Details
The six-steps of problem solving must be evident in your assignment. Namely:
1. Identify the problem - state the task in your own words e.g. implement Cut-Up method
2. Analyse the problem - describe what needs to be done
3. Generate potential solutions - look at different ways to do this using Python
4. Select and plan a solution - explain why you have chosen this approach
5. Implement the solution - develop pseudo-code and then implement it in Python
6. Evaluate the solution - what degree of success was achieved?
