INF4017H :: Postgraduate Diploma in Information Systems Project
Note: This course is designed to follow on from either of the Postgraduate
Diploma coursework courses (INF4012W;
INF4015W; INF4016W).
Fourth Year Status, Part-time Whole Year Course
Course coordinator: Associate Professor J-P Van Belle.
Prerequisites:
INF4015W (Information Systems Coursework) or INF4016W (Computer
Forensics Coursework) or INF4012W (Enterprise Systems and BPM Coursework)
Objectives:
- Apply specific parts of the body of knowledge which students obtained
in the Postgraduate Diploma Coursework course to a practical work situation
- Demonstrate practical and academic reading and writing skills
- Produce a work that is potentially of significant value to the
organisation in which the student works.
Course format:
Students are required to complete and report on a work-related project
which demonstrates clearly how the knowledge gained in their coursework
course has been or can be applied in their day-to-day work environment. The
nature of the project is very flexible but a written project report of no
less than 50 pages is required on completion. In the case of students who
completed the INF4016W course, the nature of the project will be a complete
investigation of, and report on a hypothetical computer forensics
investigation. The student should prepare a short description of the
proposed project after which the student may be allocated a responsible
staff member in the department who can act as a “supervisor/mentor”. The
staff member may help the student with the scope and possible questions.
Assessment:
Only the final report will be marked. A minimum of 50% must be obtained
in order to pass.
