3 Guidelines for the project report and delivered product
The exact structure and content of the report will depend on the type of project and any
specific requirements of the client/supervisor/mentor.
Who is the reader? In writing the report, keep in mind that the intended audience is:
Your supervisor/mentor and client.
An external examiner who is not familiar with the project.
3.1 Software Development Projects
Please keep in mind that there is a wide range of projects, client expectations, deliverables,
algorithm development and coding, so not all items below are relevant to all projects.
You need to use your judgement in preparing your submissions.
You must submit two files, a report as a pdf and the actual product as a zip file. Here
are the details:
3.1.1 The Report
The file name should be groupname-technical-report.pdf. You should use the file
groupname-technical-report.docx as a starting point. It is in Modules → Course
Documents.
3.1.2 Delivered Product
The file name should be groupname-product.zip and it should contain all of the follow-
ing items that are relevant.
1. A readme file (readme.txt) that contains any release notes, installation and running
instructions (you can refer to the to the project report document), any change log,
the Github URL of the project, the URL of the deployed project on the web.
2. Any credential information needed for deploying and/or running the product.
3. The final source code file (groupname-source.zip) which must include the all the
source code, images, sounds, movies, release notes). Do not include any compiled
files, there will be a deduction for including complied files.
4. Data management information (data.txt) which describes the exact type of DB,
the version and the DB connection address if it is on the cloud with authorisation
information and any other necessary information
5. A Demo pdf (groupname-demo.pdf) that contains screenshots of the working app
for different scenarios that cover all the main functions/user stories of the applica-
tion. You can show validation cases through different scenarios and their screen-
shots, if there are any. This is an important item in establishing that you have
completed a challenging and significant project,

3.2 Research Project/Data Analysis Project
You must submit two files, the report as a pdf and any programs or scripts as a zip file.
Here are the details:
3.2.1 The Report
The file name should be groupname.pdf. Here is a suggested structure for the report.
1. Introduction. This section should describe the data and the tasks attempted to a
person who is not familiar with this data.
2. A series of sections with this structure:
(a) Question/Hypothesis. For example Are there any differences in the ways that
the different age groups used the learning management system?
(b) Methodology. Describe the data file used and any processing used to get
the data file for analysis. For example, We joined studentInfo.csv with
studentVle.csv and cut out id student,age band,sum click and calculated
the total sum click for each student id. We produced one file for each of the
two major age bands. (Script xxx in the zip file).
(c) Data generated by the investigation. For example, Frequency and histogram
data for each age band, which is shown in these graphs...
(d) Conclusions. For example, By visual inspection, are the frequency or histogram
plots the same for each age group? Or how are they different?
3. Findings and Conclusions. List and describe any interesting facts, patterns or
relationships that you found. For example, We found that the usage patterns of the
two large age groups were very different. In the younger age group .... while in the
older age group ....
3.2.2 The zip file.
The file name should be groupname-code.zip and it should contain any code or scripts
used in the analysis. It should be clear in the zip file which programs/scripts were used
for which questions in the report.
4 Submission
Submit one pdf file and one zip file.
After the due date, you will have 5 business days to submit your assignment as a late
submission. Late submissions will incur a penalty of 10% per day. After these five days,
Canvas will be closed and you will lose ALL the assignment marks.

you have quoted (i.e. directly copied), summarised, paraphrased, discussed or men-
tioned in your assessment through the appropriate referencing methods
Provided a reference list of the publication details so your reader can locate the
source if necessary. This includes material taken from Internet sites. If you do not
