CONTENTS 1. Introduction 1.1 Course Outline 1 1.2 Introduction ...

Laboratory work is assessed by practical work, written reports from practical assignments and a
workbook or initial plan. Practical assignments will be based upon practical graphics tutorials given in
lab sessions. (Learning outcomes 2,3,4)
The weighting of the examination to coursework reflects the practical nature of the subject area
based upon a firm foundation of theoretical knowledge.
Assessment criteria:
The extent to which the student is able to:
• Derive important relationships between concepts from the theory.
• Interpret the terminology relevant to graphics and optimisation of graphical processes.
• Use appropriate procedures from theory according to requirements.
• Be creative in use of software relevant to application.
• Plan, carry out and report on practical investigations.
• Use research/reference literature as appropriate.
Assessment Methods and Weightings:
Marks are distributed in the module as follows:
Written Examination 40%
Course work 20%
Practical Assignments 40%
