Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Outcomes are achieved through online sessions and present in person teaching.
Lectures provide the core material as well as guidance for further reading. Problem practice is integrated into lecture structure, examples given in the use of the software tools.
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
Exams
| Description | Length | Semester | When Set | Percentage | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Written Examination | 180 | 2 | A | 100 | Choice of 4 question from 3 from Image processing and 3 from machine vision |

Formative Assessments
Formative Assessment is an assessment which develops your skills in being assessed, allows for you to receive feedback, and prepares you for being assessed. However, it does not count to your final mark.
| Description | Semester | When Set | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Written exercise | 2 | M | Tutorial Question on Image Processing set in the middle of the semester |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The examination provides the opportunity for the students to demonstrate their understanding of the course material and their ability to apply critical thinking. The problem solving aspects of the assessment enable the student to demonstrate that they are able to apply this understanding and their analysis and synthesis skills to novel situations.
