Formative Assessments
Formative Assessment is an assessment which develops your skills in being assessed, allows for you to receive feedback, and prepares you for being assessed. However, it does not count to your final mark.
| Description | Semester | When Set | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Written exercise | 2 | M | Two sets of analytical questions are provided as a homework to solve after the delivery of the related syllabus. The solutions are checked during the class and feedback provided |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The examination allows students to demonstrate their ability to solve engineering problems focused on intelligent signal processing based on the knowledge and methodology presented in the course material. The laboratory report assesses technical writing skills and provides the opportunity for the students to apply programming skills to validate the theory taught on the course.
Formative analytical questions are provided as a homework to solve after the delivery of the related syllabus. The solutions are checked during the class and feedback is provided to gauge understanding and help students prepare for the summative assessments.
