QHO431 Web Technologies - Event Website

Assessment criteria 

Here is what the website needs to do to:

To Achieve an F Grade

Any of the following will result in an F (or S) grade being awarded:

• The submission does not run in a node environment, or the features are not accessible using custom URLs
• The website uses unapproved technologies that are not in line with those listed on the previous page.
• The website has little to no layout
• Very poor practice has been demonstrated.
  • i.e. using deprecated HTML tags that style the page rather than CSS
  • The requirements (listed in the scenario) have not been met and/or the criteria for the D grade (below) have not been met.
  • The submitted website is very similar to a class task – has perhaps been slightly restyled or just given different content.
  • No client-side JavaScript has been added to the website at all
  • No supporting documentation has been submitted
  • A .zip file containing the website was not submitted
  • The supporting documentation is off topic or does not follow the points requested

in the ‘supporting documentation’ section of this brief.

• The supporting documentation must be submitted outside of the .zip file and must generate a Turnitin report.
• The use of bad, rude, or offensive language/imagery. This includes its usage as

‘filler’ text

• Lack of professionalism – Similar to the previous point. Attempts to prank the marker, redirect them to unrelated material, or otherwise hinder them from carrying out their duties.
• Evidence of plagiarism or collusion

To Achieve a D Grade

To achieve a D grade, the website should:

• Meet all the requirements listed in the Scenario.
• Have a basic layout
• Include some basic client-side JavaScript functionality
• A basic Express app has been set up using Node JS. The website should be navigable using routes. Templating should be used where needed.
• At least one part of the website retrieves information from the database (i.e., line up)
• Mostly conform to W3C standards
• An up-to-date package.json file has been provided.
• All functionalities should be easy to navigate to. Content that cannot be navigated to by browsing the website or content that is behind broken links will not be considered.
• The homepage should load from the default route (i.e., the marker should be able to go to http://localhost:5000/ and the home page will load)
• Supporting documentation has been submitted and covers the points mentioned on page 3 of this document (supporting documentation section)

To Achieve a C Grade

To achieve a C grade, (in addition to the D criteria) the website should:

• Fully conform to W3C Standards
• Be responsive to different devices and adjust well to different screen sizes. Media queries should be demonstrated.
• Work on different browsers, specifically Chrome, Firefox and Edge
• The form (as required in the scenario) should have some simple validation – performed by a JavaScript

• Retrieve data from an SQLite database and display it on the page.
  • The stages and line up information should be retrieved from the database
  • The contact us form, when submitted, should now store the information in the database. 

• Your database file has been provided in the project folder. This is important! If you don’t include it then the marker cannot connect to your database, which means your database won’t work on their machine. If it does not work, then the C criteria is not met
• General good practice should be observed, including but not limited to:
  • an organised folder structure with images, styles and scripts separated appropriately
  • Using stylesheets appropriately and not repeating code by having an individual stylesheet for each page.
  • Supporting documentation should note what security considerations have been made when developing the website.

To Achieve a B Grade

To achieve a B grade, (in addition to the C criteria) the website should:

• In general, the website should not break. There should not be errors in the developer console (on the browser or in node) as you navigate the website or use features (including the ones below)
• An additional page should be created for an activity that you should come up with. This ‘activity’ will be interactive and involve JavaScript. It might make your life easier if you develop this for a younger audience.
  • This should be original and not taken from the internet.
  • Can be any kind of activity (i.e., a guess the picture game where you have an image covered up by squares that vanish when you click them etc.)
  • Supporting documentation is strengthened by further reading (i.e. in to accessibility or security issues)

To Achieve an A4 or A3 Grade

To achieve an A4 or A3 grade, the website should:

• Meet the D, C and B criteria (listed above) with no exceptions
• Look professional (would be publishable for its intended purpose) and conform to professional standards
• Include a search feature that demonstrates AJAX
• Include AJAX for at least one other feature.
• The feature you pick to explain client-side/server-side elements in your supporting documentation, should be one that includes AJAX as well as a database connection.

To Achieve an A2 or A1 Grade

To achieve an A2 or A1 grade, the website should:

• Meet the D, C, B and A4/A3 criteria (listed above) with no exceptions
• Should have AJAX throughout – especially where database connections are involved
• Provides an additional feature that allows for multiple years to be looked up. For example, by default the website should display this year’s line-up. However, the user should also be able to view what past events have occurred.

The user should then be able to select a year and then view the line-up for the given year.

• The database will be needed for this

Assessment regulations

Extenuating Circumstances

The University’s Extenuating Circumstances (EC) procedure is in place if there are genuine short term exceptional circumstances that may prevent you submitting an assessment. You are able to self-certify for up to two assessment dates in any semester without supporting evidence for an extension of up to seven calendar days for coursework or to defer an exam to the resit period.

Alternatively, if you are not `fit to study’ (or you have used up your two self-certification opportunities), you can request:

- an extension to the submission deadline of 7 calendar days, or

- a request to submit the assessment at the next opportunity, i.e. the resit period (as a Defer without capping of the grade). 

In both instances you must submit an EC application with relevant evidence.   If accepted under the university regulations there will be no academic penalty for late submission or non-submission dependent on what is requested.  You are reminded that EC covers only short-term issues (20 working days) and that if you experience longer term matters that impact on your learning then you must contact the Student Hub for advice.

Please find a link to the EC policy below:

Extenuating Circumstances

Academic Misconduct

Any submission must be your own work and, where facts or ideas have been used from other sources, these sources must be appropriately referenced. The University’s Academic Regulations includes the definitions of all practices that will be deemed to constitute academic misconduct.  You should check this link before submitting your work.
