Introduction must define the aims of the report. ? Introduction must identify the project objectives. • Approaches to Systems Development (Task 1: about 250 words) ? How would RME go about developing its information system? ? Justification for your chosen approach to systems development. • Systems Requirements (Task 2: about 300 words) ? List the primary functional requirements for the new system. ? List the non-functional requirements for the new system.

This assessment relates to course learning outcomes 1, 2, 3, and 4 stated in the e-course profile. Assessment 1 is an individual assessment. In this assessment, you are assigned tasks which assess your course knowledge gained between weeks 1 and 5 about different facets of systems development. All students will have to write a report showing the answers to the questions in Tasks 1?5 below. Please note that ALL submissions will be checked by a computerized copy detection system and it is extremely easy for teaching staff to identify copied or otherwise plagiarised work.
