教学与评估 Teaching and Assessment:
Teaching and Assessment
The course is delivered through lectures, seminars, directed studies and laboratory exercises, involving individual and team work. The assessments are carried out by coursework and/or written examinations. Students will learn modules including Research Techniques, Object-Oriented Programming (in java) and Software Development Methodologies with UML(Unified Modelling Language), Databases, and Internet and Multimedia Technology. These are all integrated in a Web based framework and students are grouped as teams to design and implement a substantial Web-based application. Students also take few optional modules, from the optional module list, which includes Data Mining, Applied Statistics, Networks, Systems Engineering, Systems Development, Artificial Intelligence, Image, and Speech and Language Processing.
Starting in the Spring Semester to August, students will undertake an MSc Dissertation project on a topic that is usually related to the School's research areas, often in collaboration with an outside body. A project requires students to apply the knowledge and skills they have learned from the course to carry out in-depth research on a topic, or develop a working system for various applications. Some project work may be done with companies and could involve paid placement at a company.
