Assignment Brief:

Instructions on the Final-Project Report (FPR)
You should have done about 600 hours of effort by the time you submit your project report. This assignment
is worth 95% of the overall assessment for the module; the 300 hours of effort quoted relates primarily to
the collation, writing and editing the report and supporting documents, and the preparation and time given
to a demonstration and face to face discussion of your work with your assessors.
You should be aware from the outset that the report and your explanation of your work is the primary
evidence used in the assessment, and it is the assessment of your abilities to conduct and deliver a project
that is key. Any software product or model or artefact that you may have produced during your project is
not the focus of the assessment. In an extreme case, a student that submits a well-crafted piece of work,
but fails to submit a report into how it was produced, will fail. The project module is about assessing your
abilities as a student in your discipline area.
As a guide, taken together, the report should be about 10,000 words in length. The bibliography and
appendices are not included in the word length.

Demonstration:
You must give a demonstration of your work to your supervisor and second marker and answer questions
from them about your work. This demonstration is part of the formal assessment process and counts 20%
of your final mark. It is your responsibility to agree a time and date for this with the tutors marking your
project, and to turn up on time (and be prepared) for your demonstration. It should normally take place after
your FPR submission, though some may be prepared to do this before the submission deadline.
Please check the MSc Project Handbook for guidance on how to structure your final project report and
how to prepare for your demonstration.
