odule Code: CS1S465 Module Title: Computer Systems Concepts Module Lecturer: Keith Verheyden Assessment Title: The LMC Architecture and Programming model: Characteristics and features Assessment No. 1 No. of pages submitted in total including this page: Completed by student Word Count of submission Completed by student Date Set: 26/9/16 Submission Date: 03/03/2017 Return Date: Normally four working weeks after submission Part A: Record of Submission (to be completed by Student) Extenuating Circumstances If there are any exceptional circumstances that may have affected your ability to undertake or submit this assignment, make sure you contact the Advice Centre on your campus prior to your submission deadline. Fit to sit policy: The University operates a fit to sit policy whereby you, in submitting or presenting yourself for an assessment, are declaring that you are fit to sit the assessment. You cannot subsequently claim that your performance in this assessment was affected by extenuating factors. Plagiarism and Unfair Practice Declaration: By submitting this assessment, you declare that it is your own work and that the sources of information and material you have used (including the internet) have been fully identified and properly acknowledged as required . Additionally, the work presented has not been submitted for any other assessment. You also understand that the Faculty reserves the right to investigate allegations of plagiarism or unfair practice which, if proven, could result in a fail in this assessment and may affect your progress. Details of Submission: Note that all work handed in after the submission date and within 5 working days will be capped at 40% . No marks will be awarded if the assessment is submitted after the late submission date unless extenuating circumstances are applied for and accepted (Advice Centre to be consulted). Work should be submitted as detailed in your student handbook. You are responsible for checking the method of submission. You are required to acknowledge that you have read the above statements by writing your student number in the box: Student Number: IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP A RECORD OF ALL WORK SUBMITTED You are required to produce a report that demonstrates your understanding of the LMC Architecture, LMC programming and it's limitations as a real Computer System. You can use the material presented this term as the basis of your work but you are expected to re-interpret it to demonstrate your own understanding. Simple direct reproduction of the material presented is clearly unsatisfactory. You are encouraged to read around the subject. Whilst it is acknowledged that much of your research may be conducted using the Internet, your findings must be expressed in your own words and MUST NOT be merely be a 'copy and paste' exercise. You should also obtain material from a variety of types of source and not be too dependent on a narrow range of references. Your report MUST include ONLY the following headings: 1. Overview of the LMC Architecture 2. LMC Programming (including screenshots of simulator use) 3. Limitations of the LMC model 4. References ----- Your report must contain around 2000 words +/- 10%, including references but not including the front sheet Citations and References Credit will be given for evidence of widely reading around the subject as demonstrated by the quality and type of sources you use and by your use of citations and references. You must carefully cite references in this work and include a complete list of all the references at the end of the paper. Citations and references should adopt a recognised style. See http://studentlibrary.southwales.ac.uk/referencing/ for further details. An electronic copy of your work must be submitted via the Assessment Button on Blackboard. Click the View/Complete link to do so. Your file must be less than 20 MB. File types allowed: Microsoft Word, PDF, OpenOffice (ODT), and Google Docs. The final submission date is shown on the front sheet but you are allowed to submit early if you wish.   Section B : Marking and Assessment This assignment will be marked out of 100% This assignment contributes to 50% of the total module marks. This assignment is bonded. It is estimated that you should spend approximately 20-30 hours on this assignment. Learning Outcomes This assignment addresses the following learning outcome of the module: Demonstrate knowledge of key theoretical principles of computer systems. Marking Scheme Marks Available Marks Awarded LMC Architecture (including how its components relate to a real computer) 30 LMC Programming (including screenshots of emulator use) 40 Limitations of the LMC model 25 Citations and References 5 Assessment Criteria Performance Level Criteria 3rd Class (40% - 49%) Minimum coverage of topics has been included.
