HI5030 Systems Analysis and Design - Holmes Institute

Children Learning Through Lego Building Blocks

Objectives

This assessment item relates to the unit learning outcomes as in the unit descriptor. This assessment is designed to improve student research and writing skills and to give students experience in researching the literature on a specific topic relevant to the Unit of Study subject matter. Students will be expected to complete a literature review to discuss a contemporary aspect of Systems Analysis or Systems Design which an IS professional may experience. Students will critically analyze current academic papers then present their work in a detailed literature review and analysis.

Instructions

This assessment will be completed individually. All students must have a different topic. Students can choose to write about similar aspects of Analysis and Design, but the approach and the thrust of each paper must be different. To ensure this uniqueness, each student must decide on a topic and email their topic and title to their tutor within the first 3 weeks. The topic can be on any aspect related to Analysis and Design, including but not limited to systems requirements, methodologies, process, process modeling, automation, systems design, testing, integration, human-computer interfaces, technology aspects with system design, systems planning etc... The title should be very specific, something you can write a literature review on, and not be too general. For instance, you cannot say "my title will be Testing". It needs to be on some specific aspect of testing related to Systems Analysis and Design. You will need to put some thought into topic and title selection.

Your tutor will respond with an approval or with a message that you will either need to choose a different topic or title, be more specific or to change the thrust of your paper. You tutor may decide to do this for you, but as part of the assessment you should be able to do this yourself. Once it has been approved you should begin by working towards the first deliverable.

This assessment is worth 40% of the unit grade and is a major assessment. Students are advised to begin working on this assessment as soon as you have your topic approved

1. Students who submit assignments which do not comply with the guidelines will be heavily penalized and a maximum of a passing grade only may be applied.

2. Students who provide false referencing information (including the page and paragraph markers) will be referred to the Academic Integrity Unit.
