Assessment Guide

Familiarise yourself with the ‘Assessment Guide (assessment guide)’ document that is provided in your MyUpskilled site.  The information contained in this document is relevant to all assessments you undertake.

Assessment information

You are required to complete two separate assessment activities for ICTPRG302 – Apply introductory programming techniques

Assessment number	Assessment method/ Type of evidence
ICTPRG302IA/01	Apply introductory programming techniques – Knowledge Test
ICTPRG302IA/02	Apply introductory programming techniques – Project

This document includes instructions for the second assessment activity (ICTPRG302IA/02)

Grading outcomes

Assessment Type

This assessment contains the following for you to complete:

Assessment Type	Overview
Project	A project involves a number of steps or parts that must be completed in the correct order.  Instructions may require written answers, demonstration of steps, etc.
Role play	A role-play requires you to identify and use work colleagues, other students or friends to participate in a video/ audio recorded role-play.  All participants should be familiar with the broad concepts of the task.  The role-play allows your assessor to assess your communication skills, interpersonal skills, and knowledge.

Assessment 2: Project

Required equipment and resources

• Access to learning materials
• Computer and Microsoft Office or other word processing software

Submission Requirements

Video/audio submission requirements

There are activities which will require you to submit a video or audio recording to fulfill the requirements of an assessment Activity.  Videos or audio recordings that require participants (i.e. meetings, or role plays, etc.) will require the student and participant(s) to provide a Declaration of Consent statement.  Participants need to be (16) sixteen years of age or older. This is necessary for Upskilled to maintain Upskilled policies and procedures and comply with Privacy Legislation. 

• , EACH person who is participating in the video/audio recording must declare their name and they are a willing participant. For video recordings, it is necessary for the participant to be seen in the video making their statement.
• 
  ‘My name is _____, a student with Upskilled.  I am recording this video or audio for my Upskilled course and understand it will be viewed by Upskilled staff and may also be viewed by regulatory staff. I am a willing participant for this recording.’
• 
  ‘My name is _____ and will be a participant in this recording.  I understand the purpose and use of this recording and I am participating willingly.’

Feedback

Trainer/Assessors are required to review the assessments and make comments either in the document or in the Trainer/Assessors Feedback form and upload it to My Upskilled.

Assessment Overview

• Test the application and debug the problem if necessary – Report (written)
• Submit the application and seek feedback – Meeting (video)

Assessment instructions

Project Objectives

You are required to design and develop one simple application through introductory programming techniques. The language to develop the simple application should be Python.

If you have any questions about the project or the resources required to complete this assessment contact your Trainer/Assessor.

Your Role and Responsibilities as Software Developer at Skillage IT

Your roles responsibilities are:

Roles and Responsibilities of participants:

Throughout the project (Activities 1 and 4), you will be required to communicate with a stakeholders either face to face or remotely through teleconferencing or the use of social media technologies or applications.

Your friends, family members or fellow students (befriend students in the course discussion forums) will play the part of participants in these varieties of roles for each of the activities.  They can be the same people or differing people for each of the activities. The general role your participants will play are to:

Assessment Activities

Activity 1: Gather all information required to complete the task (Audio or Video Recording)

You are required to identify and establish the application task before commencing the development work. To do this, you need to arrange and participate in a meeting with a participant of your choice who will act as the client. The purpose of the meeting is to set very clear requirements and expectations regarding the following:

Application task to discuss with the student: Develop an application Pig Latin

Pig Latin is not an actual language. It is what linguists call a language game. A language game (also called a “ludling” or “argot”) is a set of rules applied to an existing language, which make that language incomprehensible to the untrained ear.

Pig Latin refers to a game that alters the word given by the user.  Pig Latin takes the first consonant (or consonant cluster) of an English word, moves it to the end of the word and suffixes an “ay”, or if a word begins with a vowel you just add way to the end.

To create the Pig Latin form of an English word the initial consonant sound is transposed to the end of the word and an “ay” is affixed (Ex.: “banana” would yield anana-bay).

You need to write a program using an array. The program should be able to take input from user and apply Pig Latin translator.
