Task Summary
Design and develop distinct programming tasks addressing the business needs raised in the requested programming tasks within the context of the provided case study, using the concepts that we have learned in Modules 1 and 2.
Context
Using programming skills to make informed business decisions is becoming increasing important in the current information era. The speed in which this can be achieved is also desirable in the fast‐ paced business environment. Businesses and organizations rely heavily on computer programs to better understand and analyze data. This assessment assesses your skills in designing and developing computer programs using procedural programming techniques to address business needs.
Task Instructions
You are now to develop a program using Python. The program must comprehensively include all the functional requirements described in the case study. The program must also satisfy the conditions discussed in the Case Study.
There is NO minimum length to your Python codes, but you need to make sure to have enough functionality in your programs to address the business needs in the case study. Please remember:
• You may use any Python IDE to develop and test your Python programs.
• Review the Case Study briefing document, located in the assessment area of your learning portal and submit one or more Python files to complete the assessment.
General Assessment Requirement
Incomprehensible submissions. Assessments provide the opportunity for students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills to achieve the required standard. To do this, assessment responses need to be both clear and easy to understand. If not, the University cannot determine that students have demonstrated their knowledge and skills. Assessments will, therefore, be marked accordingly including the potential for 0 (zero) marks where relevant.
Case Study. Assessment response must focus on the hypothetical Case Study given in the Task Instructions. Any assessment items that do not address the case study may be awarded 0 (zero) marks.
Check marking criteria. Before submitting your assessment, you should check it against the assessment criteria and the marking rubric included in this specification to ensure that you have satisfactorily addressed all the criteria that will be used to mark your submission.
Academic language. All submissions should be thoroughly proof‐read for spelling, typographical or grammatical errors before being submitted. Do not reply on the ‘spell‐check’ function in your word processing program. If, for example, ‘affect’ is substituted for ‘effect’, your program may not detect the error.
Referencing
No referencing required for this assessment.
Submission Instructions:
• All students must submit ONE python file (.py extension) via the Assessment link in the main navigation menu in MIS200 Coding Essentials – Test Programming Efficiency.
• Physical copies/Email submissions are not accepted.
• Complete and correct submission. Assessment, once submitted, are FINAL and therefore cannot be modified. You bear all the onus to ensure that your submissions are final, correct (correct files in correct format) and complete before submitting to Blackboard.
• You are expected to begin this assessment when you begin the trimester, especially as you relate the learning activities (formative assessment) in the modules to this and the other (summative) assessments. Be sure to keep several drafts of your work as well as your notes and any sources you used to draw on in preparing your report.
• Extensions will be considered only in extenuating circumstances where the student has applied before the due date. At that point, students are required to provide the latest draft, in case the extension is not granted and to demonstrate they have earnestly done everything to avoid lateness.
• Students are responsible for keeping appropriate back‐ups and drafts of their assignments and to submit the correct version.
• Torrens University Australia policies apply to the preparation and submission of this assignment
Academic Integrity Declaration
I declare that except where I have referenced, the work I am submitting for this assessment task is my own work. I have read and am aware of Torrens University Australia Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure viewable online at http://www.torrens.edu.au/policies-and-forms
I am aware that I need to keep a copy of all submitted material and their drafts, and I will do so accordingly.
All students are responsible for ensuring that all work submitted is their own and is appropriately referenced and academically written according to the Academic Writing Guide. Students also need to have read and be aware of Torrens University Australia Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure and subsequent penalties for academic misconduct. These are viewable online.

Students also must keep a copy of all submitted material and any assessment drafts.
Special Consideration
To apply for special consideration for a modification to an assessment or exam due to unexpected or extenuating circumstances, please consult the Assessment Policy for Higher Education Coursework and ELICOS and, if applicable to your circumstance, submit a completed Application for Assessment Special Consideration Form to your Learning Facilitator.

Incorporation of
Activities and
Learning from the
Subject
50% Little or no awareness of the subject matter has been demonstrated in the presentation of the solution. Little awareness of subject material can be seen in the solution presented.
More work is required to demonstrate learning throughout the subject. An awareness of the subject matter can be seen.
More work is required to master the art of programming and
in automating semi‐ complex tasks. A concise demonstration of learning throughout the subject has been demonstrated in the solution presented.
Some commentary may be present to indicate which aspects have been demonstrated. Full demonstration of learning from the subject can be seen in the presentation of the solution.
Includes commentary and highlights the specific elements that have been incorporated.
Compilation and
Execution of
Program
50% There are several compilation errors, that originate in syntactical and linking errors and that prevent the program from compiling and running. Some minor compilation errors prevent compilation and can be borne from syntactical or linking errors. Some minor attention to these would result in simple changes that would allow the program to compile. The program compiles and links correctly. Upon testing, the program has a run‐time
error and one or more logic errors in its execution. The program compiles and links correctly. Upon testing, the program has a run‐time error or has one or more logic errors in the way it has attempted to solve the problem in the brief. The program compiles and links correctly. Upon testing, no run‐time or logic errors can be detected in the way the program was designed.
The following Subject Learning Outcomes are addressed in this assessment
SLO a) Identify and explain the tenets of procedural programming into the object‐oriented paradigm
SLO c) Apply an integrated development environment (IDE) to create, compile, test and run programs to address contemporary organisational needs
