ASSESSMENTDESCRIPTION
The MN692 Capstone Project builds on MN691 Research Methods and Project Design from the previous trimester only if you have the same group members in your tutorial session. If your team members change, you may be assigned a new topic and will be required to complete the project implementation.
The industry project report consists of two distinct stages. The first stage focuses on the project's detailed design, while the second stage involves its implementation and analysis. Each stage requires the submission of both group and individual reports, contributing to Assessments 1 and 2.
Individualmarksforeachteammemberwillbecalculatedforeachassessmentusingthefollowing process:
- Group marks for the written report will be assigned based on the group report
- Each team member will receive an individual mark for the individual report assignment, which will be scaled by a factor of 1.
- The final mark for each student will be determined by multiplying the group report mark by this scaled individual mark.
- Failure to submit an individual report will result in a score of 0 for the
The group report must be submitted solely by the designated leader through the assigned group submission link.
