Notes for Final Project Dissertation
This document contains an overview of the marking scheme for projects with some notes that should be useful
for planning, executing and writing up your final project dissertation. This should be useful for anyone taking a
project module but is aimed in particular towards students in the Computer Science course group (CS, CGT).
1 Marking Criteria
Title – Meaningful, descriptive but not too long (must not promise anything that you do not deliver)
Abstract – brief overview of what you did (last thing to be written)
Introduction (10%)
State the hypothesis and aims, background to subject leading to a definition of the 'problem' or
'application domain' for your work, what you hope to achieve (i.e. what aspect you are addressing with
your work) and how you intend to go about it (more details in the methodology section).
Make sure you have appropriate title and achievable aims
Use of Literature (15%)
Can be in its own section but 'use of literature' applies to whole document. Brief description i.e. (a
single paragraph) of 4 – 10 key texts (but this number rather depends on the work you are doing) where
you say what was useful for your work. Also remember to use citations throughout your work as you
introduce ideas and make claims that need support. Overview of alternative approaches and software
can also go here or in the introduction.
Methodology (20%)
Rational for approach, i.e. why use this way of solving the problem?
Design (often big enough to be its own section) provide specification, description and diagrams.
Marks given for originality and difficulty of task
Implementation and results (15%)
Description of functionality and provision of evidence (testing).
Make sure you are clear about what resources you have used and what is 'your' contribution.
Summary of test output (raw data mostly in appendices)
Can also provide screen capture video clips and snapshots
Usefulness and usability for intended audience.
Discussion – what has your work demonstrated, how has this effected the target problem / application
area.
Discussion (20%)
Interpretation of results
Evaluation of approach
Wider implications of work
Discussion – what has your work demonstrated, how has this effected the target problem / application
area. This will need to link to other work / applications so you may need to reference some of the
literature and/or add to your references with some more research.
Conclusion (10%)
Brief summary of what has been achieved, Critical appraisal of work and future work / improvements
to be made.
Presentation (15%) - discuss with project supervisor, here are some general suggestions.
Layout, use of English, spelling, grammar, academic style, binding, Turnitin report.
Use page numbers, numbered headings and sub-headings, contents list for headings and figures,
running headers with chapter title and appendices.
Code printed out to.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

What is meant by each of the following data
mining terms? In each case, include a
simple example to illustrate your answer.
• Decision trees;
• Clustering;
• Accuracy;
• Coverage.
(8 Marks)
13. Overcomplication
Decision trees are used in data mining as a way of progressively
breaking down data into groups. As this happens, the number in each
classification may be noted. A customer database may break down as
70% male, 30% female. The males may be divided into those that
spend over €1,000 a year with us (90%) and those that do not (10%).
The same subdivision for female shows that only 2% of females spend
over €1,000 with us. The high spending males break-down into 77%
under 30 and 23% over 30 years of age. When females are divided
into high and low spending, it might be found that 80% of high spenders
are repeat customers and 20% are not. Low spending females, on the
other hand, might be 90% non repeating customers. A parallel analysis
of high spending male customers might show that…
14. Padding
Work breakdown structures are important. They are used in all projects including civil,
mechanical and electrical engineering projects as well as software projects. Work
breakdown structures decompose the work to be done in a project into successively
smaller components. The result is a hierarchical structure. This is usually done by the
project manager, but may be done by sub managers or engineers. Being able to prepare
a work breakdown is an important project management skill and needs experience.
Specialist engineers may be required to complete a WBS where specialised work is
involved. The work breakdown structure enables the project manager to estimate more
accurately and later on helps in controlling the project. A typical breakdown may start
with a project being divided into phases, stages, activities and tasks. The lowest level in
the breakdown is usually a task though occasionally task may be further subdivided into
sub-task or even steps. The number of tasks in a project can be very large. The absence of a work
breakdown structure can cause problems in a project as it may not be possible to estimate accurately
or assign work effectively. If the work breakdown structure is not complete in some way, then the
project is almost certain to overrun. One project manager was quoted as saying that a good work
breakdown structure is of ‘monumental importance’. A proper work breakdown structure is normally
coded with a simple numeric coding system. The work breakdown structure may also be reflected in a
Gantt chart. A Gantt chart is a sort of horizontal bar chart used for showing the timing and duration of
the various stages of a project.
What is meant by a work breakdown structure? Illustrate your
answer with an example. (6 marks)
15. Unnecessary content
• Taking a long time to get to the point
• Irrelevance
• Repetition
• Present what you know
• Add Value
• Get to the point
18. Writing
• Not the same level as assessment
• Keep your writing simple
• Short sentences
• Few sub-clauses
• Practice writing
• Avoid unsupported value judgements
- “World War II was really important.”
19. Not Answering the Question
• Demonstrating that you understand the
question is the first step in producing an
answer
• How you structure your answer is as important
as what you know
• More is not necessarily better
20. First of All
Understand what is being asked
Only answer the QUESTION
Do not include irrelevant material
Understand the format in which your answers
are required
Practice answering previous exam questions
Simulate Exam Conditions
25. Outputs of Revision
Study Aids
– index cards
- mind-maps
- audio (podcasts, your voice etc.)
- Anything else?

27. Conditional Reflex
Develop Your Technique
Deconstruct the question:
• Restate the question in your own words
• Find and use the key words
• Show that you know what the point of the question is
by defining the key words/concepts/theories/etc
• Say how you are going to answer the question
28. Develop your technique
• Deconstruct the question first
• Do quick outline
• Rough notes under headings
• Then begin to write your answer
Practice this
