【TECH1200】Fundamentals of Programming

Assessment Description

The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate your ability to apply the programming concepts and

techniques covered in the course to develop a practical application in Python. You will be required

to use the ChatGPT to generate a minimum of 20 records with at least five fields (see example

below) and process the data in your program using the concepts covered in Weeks 1-7. The

outcomes that you will demonstrate in this assessment include:

1. Developing proficiency in the Python 3 language.

2. Applying knowledge of data structures and control flow to create a functional program.

3. Applying programming skills to develop an effective program.

4. Utilising external libraries and resources to expand the functionality of a program.

To submit your assessment, you should create a single Python file and upload it to the LMS. Your

Python file should be well-documented and include comments to explain the functionality of your

code. You should also include a report with explanation of how you utilised ChatGPT in your

program.

This assessment aims to achieve the following subject learning outcomes:

LO1 Interpret simple program specifications.

LO4 Use an integrated development environment to develop, debug and test a solution written

in a programming language.
