Assessment 3 – Presentation
Due 5pm Friday Week 13
Goal
The goal of this assessment item is for you to demonstrate that you have used and understood the design principles taught in the first part of this course, and the Python implementation techniques taught in the second half.
Description
You are to deliver a PowerPoint presentation (no less than 4m30s and no more than 5m30s) outlining the design and implementation phases of your assignment. The first part of your presentation should identify at least one (1) area of your design where you used each of the following algorithm components:
· A function
· A decision/conditional structure
· A loop
epetition structure
You also need to justify the use of these elements, as well as how you identified the relevant variables (inputs/outputs, decisions, loop conditions etc.).
The second part of your presentation should look at the implementation phase, specifically:
· What parts of implementing a solution (that you were given) did you find tricky
· What parts of the solutions you developed did you modify AFTER you had received feedback?
· What parts of the solutions you developed did you modify AFTER you began the implementation phase (not based on feedback)
· What parts of ANY implementation did you find tricky, and how did you solve and e
ors you encountered (you don’t have to give ALL e
ors, but if there were some big ones mention them here).
Remember to stick to your time limit.
