Effort required
The coursework is worth 50% of the module marks. You are expected to demonstrate good effort in exploring the background of this problem, understanding the datasets, processing the data, developing meaningful AI system and implementing some basic aspects, and writing up your report. The coursework is worth 50% of the marks for this 20-credit module. A 20-credit module is nominally 200 hours of your time, some of which is spent in lectures, labs and private study. You should expect to be spending around 70 hours on this coursework.
