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 Outcomes Assessed - The following course learning outcomes are assessed by completing this assessment:
Knowledge:
1. Identify and use the correct syntax of a common programming language.
2. Recall and use typical programming constructs to design and implement simple software solutions.
3. Explain the importance of programming style concepts (documentation, mnemonic names, indentation).
Skills:
1. Utilise pseudocode and/or algorithms as a major program design technique.
2. Write and implement a solution algorithm using basic programming constructs.
3. Describe program functionality based on analysis of given program code.
Application of knowledge and skills:
1: Develop self-reliance and judgement in adapting algorithms to diverse contexts.
2: Design and write program solutions to identified problems using accepted design constructs.
Task - Start with a text - you are free to choose any text - a good suggestion is Alice in Wonderland a paragraph from chapter 1 is given 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.
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. Gene rate 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?
