Assessment Task
In this assessment, you are required to undertake three tasks. For each task, it is required that you implement a
Python program to solve a business problem presented in the business case.
Please refer to the Instructions for details on how to complete this task.
Context
Module 1.1 to Module 4.2 covered many expressive programming syntax and powerful Python language
features. Collectively, they can be used to create sophisticated programs to solve real business problems. In each
Module, we focused almost exclusively on particular language features or syntax taught in that Module. In this
assessment, you have the opportunity to put them all together.
In contrast with the practical exercises in each Module, you are presented with close-to-real-life business problems,
and you are asked to develop programs to solve these problems. Sometimes, understanding the business
problems and the associated business rules is challenging in their own. The business logics sometimes need to be
determined/inferred/interpreted from the business case and business rules, which then need to be implemented
using a programming language. These are the challenges you will inevitably have to address in real life. Therefore,
the business case and the business rules in this assessment have been deliberated designed to be convoluted and
less straightforward. Understanding the case and the business problem is an integral part of the assessment.
In this assessment, you will demonstrate the following skills and knowledge:
- Grasp business requirements, rules, and logics, and be able to translate them into programming code.
- Implement programs in Python to solve business problems.
- Design a program and illustrate the logic through flowcharts.

Instructions
1. Form groups of 2 – 3 students. Please read attached MIS501_Assessment 2 & 3_Group Formation,
Registration and Administration Guidelines document.
2. Please read the attached MIS501_Assessment 2_Business Case Study and complete the assessment tasks.
3. All implementations must be in Python 3 (that is NOT Python 2). Programs implemented in a different
language will be marked 0. Programs implemented in Python 2 will be capped at 50% of the available
marks.
4. You may only use the language features and syntax taught in Module 1.1 through to Module 4.2. You MUST
not use any other language features beyond what was taught by Module 4.2. Penalties apply.
5. You may implement the programs in any IDE of your choice.
6. The program should be provided with adequate and meaning comments.
7. Your program should be robust. Check for input validity.
Hint: What would you do if user chose option 3 without entering any user information first?
8. Please follow Python Style Guide: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
9. You are strongly advised to read the rubric which is an evaluation guide with criteria for grading
the assignment. This will give them a clear picture of what a successful final solution looks like.
10. Peer evaluation
a. Group participation will constitute the final 10% of the mark for Assessment 3. Participation will be
determined as follows:
b. Each student in the team will evaluate the other members’ contributions using a participation score
matrix (see Group Participation Score Matrix attached)
c. Individually, each team member will assign a “Group participation score” (from 1-5) for each
member of the group using the score matrix.
d. Each student is to assess peers’ contributions according to the Peer Evaluation Grading Scheme.
e. The participation score matrix submitted by each individual student via the Assessment 3 link at the
same time after the Group submission.
f. The Facilitator will use the average “group participation score” for each member to determine the
weighted ‘Teamwork’ criterion row in the final marking rubric for this assessment.
g. All peer evaluation submissions are confidential not viewed by the other team members.
Submission Instructions
Graded submission- Group submission
Submit this task via the Assessment 2 link in the main navigation menu in MIS501 Principles of
Programming. You should submit one or multiple Python file(s) (ending .py). The Learning Facilitator will
provide feedback via the Grade Centre in the LMS portal. Feedback can be viewed in My Grades.
Submit the following 2 files for this assessment in MIS501: Principles of Programming.
1. Task 1 Flow Chart Diagram - task1.docx/jpeg/pdf.
2. Python Program, demonstrating the implication of Task 2A, 2B and 2C - solution.py
DO NOT zip these files into one file, submit individual files. The Learning Facilitator will provide feedback via the
Grade Centre in the LMS portal. Feedback can be viewed in My Grades.
Peer Evaluation – Individual Submission
Each individual student is to submit a completed team participation score matrix document in the
Assessment 2 – Peer Evaluation submission link. Please submit a peer review correctly, as no
submission may result is zero grading for this assessment criteria.
