| Written Examination | 120 | 2 | A | 100 | Candidates to answer three long questions from a choice of four. |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
Lectures provide the core material as well as guidance for further reading. Problem practice is integrated into lecture structure, practice is given in the use of the Matlab image processing toolbox.
The examination provides the opportunity for the students to demonstrate their understanding of the course material and their ability to apply critical thinking. The problem solving aspects of the assessment enable the student to demonstrate that they are able to apply this understanding and their analysis and synthesis skills to novel situations.
