Assessment
Method Description Weighting
A module mark will be obtained from Summative assessment - 40%
continuous assessment based on Formative assessment - 60%
quizzes/class tests/ assignments,
practical work and tests. The theory and Min Final Assessment mark to
practical mark of 40% is mandatory for a pass (%)
student to qualify for the final 50%
examination. The final mark will be
derived from a three-hour written
examination and the module mark in the
ratio 2:3.
MODULE DESCRIPTION
This module focuses on the basic hardware and software concepts as well as operating systems and
networking concepts. Students are shown on how an algorithm can be used as a problem solving
technique and also how to convert an algorithm into computer program. The module also discusses
basic logic gates and number systems which define how the computer does its computations and
analyses.
MODULE OBJECTIVES
The main purpose of this module is to introduce students to the basic fundamental concepts of
computing technology. Students would acquire broad spectrum of introductory computing concepts
and techniques over and above the ability to design software solutions to simple software problems
using object-oriented programming tools
MODULE CONTENT
DATA ORGANIZATION
 Files and Data Structures;
 Introduction to Database concepts
 Advanced algorithm development
 Intermediate Object Oriented Programming using C++ compiler
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
 Fundamentals of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)
 Expert Systems
 Introduction to Theory of computations
 Introduction to Web development
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After successful completion of the module, the student should be able to:
 Apply different search strategies in computer processing;
 Explain how the Turing test works;
 Interpret how Artificial Neural Networks is applied in general ;
 Analyse Robotics and Expert Systems;
 Design and write structured, efficient programs using C++
 Conduct basic program analysis and write medium size programs.
 Be familiar with functions, pointers and classes

STUDENT FEEDBACK ON MODULE

One/Two week(s) after an assessment
MODULE POLICY (Including plagiarism, academic honesty, attendance etc.)

Students who miss class tests and or main tests should submit supporting documents
detailing the course of their absence.
PLAGIARISM STATEMENT
All assessments are individual tasks and are not group activities, unless it is expressly stated as
group activities. Learners are therefore strongly advised not to make their written work available to
other learners. This is a serious offense.
Learners who submit plagiarized assessment will be heavily penalized. A Learner will be awarded a
mark of zero for the assessment and disciplinary steps may be taken by the Faculty and the
University. This may result in either suspension or expulsion. It is also an offence to do someone
else’s assessment, to lend someone your work or avail your work to someone to copy.
