Plagiarism Notice

You are reminded that there exist regulations concerning plagiarism.

Extracts from University Regulations on Cheating, Plagiarism and Collusion

Section 2.3: “The following broad types of offence can be identified and are provided as indicative examples

Cheating: including copying coursework.
Falsifying data in experimental results.
Personation, where a substitute takes an examination or test on behalf of the candidate. Both candidate and substitute may be guilty of an offence under these Regulations.
Bribery or attempted bribery of a person thought to have some influence on the candidate’s assessment.
Collusion to present joint work as the work solely of one individual.
Plagiarism, where the work or ideas of another are presented as the candidate’s own.
Other conduct calculated to secure an advantage on assessment.
Assisting in any of the above.

Some notes on what this means for students:

Copying another student’s work is an offence, whether from a copy on paper or from a computer file, and in whatever form the intellectual property being copied takes, including text, mathematical notation, and computer programs.
Taking extracts from published sources without attribution is an offence. To quote ideas, sometimes using extracts, is generally to be encouraged. Quoting ideas is achieved by stating an author’s argument and attributing it, perhaps by quoting, immediately in the text, his or her name and year of publication, e.g. ” e = mc2 (Einstein 1905)”. A reference section at the end of your work should then list all such references in alphabetical order of authors’ surnames. (There are variations on this referencing system which your tutors may prefer you to use.) If you wish to quote a paragraph or so from published work then indent the quotation on both left and right margins, using an italic font where practicable, and introduce the quotation with an attribution.

Coursework 1–Research and Preparation Coursework

This coursework assesses the following Learning Outcomes of the module:

LO1 – An understanding and knowledge of vector drawing software and an ability to make simple drawings, diagrams and illustrations; an understanding and knowledge of bitmap drawing software and an ability to produce and manipulate simple drawings and digital images;

LO2 – The ability to scan an image at an appropriate resolution, size and colour depth for use on screen; work Introduction

Coursework Description

This coursework enables you to develop your skills in research and planning for producing an isometric client visualization or UI Design-using vector and bitmap editing software packages.

For the 1^stcoursework you should submit some writing, (400-600 words), which discusses your influences. This document should include illustrative images. You must also submit a series of hand drawn sketches that act as preparatory work for your visualizations. This submission provides you with a third of your marks for your visualization project.

Instructions

You will create images that mix line art and photo-visual techniques in either cutaway section or UI Design. The design and architectural style is entirely up to you, you could utilise styles from different periods or base your designs on aspects of existing buildings. In case of designing a UI you are to make designs for all sections of an existing or imaginary mobile app. It is however up to you to develop your own ideas for this project.

For coursework 1, you do not need to submit the designed related to the final isometric design or mobile UI design. You are only expected to submit the report and drawings related to the final design and some experiments done to practice the isometric design and UI design.
