INSTRUCTIONS (for all tasks)
In this assignment, you must record yourself and your screen while performing a number of tasks detailed further below. For each task, the allocated marks are indicated in front of it. Your entire presentation cannot be less than 5:00 minutes or more than 11:00 minutes. At the beginning of your presentation, you must have a slide as shown in Appendix A to show your face and student ID in the recording. Your camera view must remain on at a corner of the video throughout the whole duration of the recording. If you think a task cannot be performed, you have to explain WHY you cannot do it. You are not allowed to record a video only and add a voice over later on; your explanations must be provided while you are performing the tasks and presenting your solution.
The submission video file should be named as follows: firstname_studentID.filetype
Note 0: If you feel uncomfortable recording yourself, you must present this assessment in a live session to Muhammed/Malik/Safi. You must have a concrete and valid reason for this to be accepted. If you want to arrange for a live presentation (rather than recording yourself), you have to send Muhammed/Malik/Safi an arrangement email by the Friday of Week 5 (by close of business) and we will arrange the live presentations for students sometime on Monday of Week 6 just after the deadline. This is to achieve fairness for all students.
