Overview
This unit introduces students to the practical issues involved in the design and implementation of enterprise software applications. The focus will be on applications employing 3 tiers - a presentation layer, an application layer and a data persistence layer. In terms of technology, both traditional desktop applications and web-based applications will be covered. Emerging technologies will also be discussed.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Prerequisite: COIT11134 and COIT11237 OR COIT11134 and COIT12167
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 2 - 2017
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.
Class Timetable
Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Student feedback response
Overall statisfaction
The overall student satisfaction fell in comparison to past terms. This can be largely due to less participation of students in the survey; which in turn did not truly represent the entire student population. 1) It is to recommend that in-campus teaching staff orient students about the importance of survery and encourage them to participate in the survey. 2) It is to also recommend that teaching staff emphasise students to partcipate regularly in all lecturer and tutorials to understand and grasp technologies used in the course. Unless students take ample self-initiatives and drives, without a facilitator course like this can be difficult to understand and digest. [3] In future, the CC and teaching staff should encourage students to participate in online forum and discussions to harness engagement.
Feedback from Student feedback response
Moodle navigation
[1] Besides the changes in assessment questions, all learning resources were similar to previous term. Whilst saying this, the course rating fell from 4.6 to 3.5. It is partly due to very limited number of students participated in the survey. [2] Likewise, in future, we need to look into ways and means to improve navigations using appropriate blocks, sections or hyperlinks in Moodle course site. [3] Subsequently, since navigation is a very broad term, specific questions in future surveys relating to navigation will help to rectify the problem.
Feedback from Student feedback response
Learning resources
The course website provided all resources: lecturer slides, tutorial activities and instructions, instructional videos, and other supplementary technical documents for students to learn and apply all technologies covered in the course. While observing lab sessions in Sydney campus, students fully used those resources. In many occassions, students told that the instructional resources including videos helped them a lot to learn and apply the tools and technologies. Recommendation: In future, additional supplementary learning resources such as links to external reading materials and videos in Moodle site will help students to build more confidence on the technologies used in the course.

Examination
Law dictionaries, Business and Law dictionaries (discipline specific dictionaries) are authorised.
As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
