Frequently Asked Questions

Question:	How do the marks of this module compare with marks for other final year modules?	Answer:	Marks are usually on a par with other final year modules. Last year the external examiner was very pleased at the outcomes. However, students need to realise that the coursework and examination components each reach the passmark (40%) for the module to be passed.
Question:	Do I need good programming skills to succeed in this module, or can I learn some of the programming basics as the module proceeds?	Answer:	This module has been specifically designed for IMD students. Some familiarity with programming concepts is expected, and jQuery allows programming at a much higher level that, for example, JavaScript, Java or C.
Question:	jQuery / jQuery is important in the practical work. Will we be expected to write this sort of code in the examination?	Answer:	Where an examination question asks something related to jQuery, you will not loose marks for minor syntactical slips, such as omitting semi-colons or quotes. It is an evident understanding of more major underlying concepts that is of importance. However, there is an exception to this - questions that ask for XML and/or DTD to be written will require absolute precision.
Question:	The module has extensive support materials online. Given that most of the materials are available 24/7, how important is attendance at lectures and practicals?	Answer:	Attendance at lectures and practicals is essential and will be closely monitored. The lectures will provide significant 'added value'. This takes the form of software demonstrations to clarify what might otherwise seem abstract points, short exercises and some tutorial style interaction. It is almost invariably the case that students who very well are also those who are almost always present, and visa versa. Attending the supervised practicals is where the theory presented in lectures often becomes 'real' to you. Being able to ask a lecturer/demonstrator how to solve some problem may save you wasting hours over something they can explain in a moment. What you understand and remember best from any module is what you did yourself, so practicals are part of active learning.
Question:	Is it appropriate to ask Prof. Anderson to review a draft of assignment work before it is due?.	Answer:	No. It is impractical to extend such an opportunity to everyone in the class, therefore to provide it would be to give some an unfair advantage.
Question:	What do I do if I need an extension for my assignment work or any other aspect of my academic work?	Answer:	The university has clear if somewhat formal procedures, where the decision about granting an extension is no longer left up to individual lecturers. This is to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and consistently within and across modules. Students must complete the 'EC1' form to report their extenuating circumstances. These are considered weekly during term-time by a senior panel within the School of Computing and Mathematics. Full details, and the EC1 form, are available at http://www.ulster.ac.uk/academicservices/student/examinations.html
