CONDITIONS
All assignments in this subject rely on the presentation of work in either word processed form or as software on h drive; as
such the backup of data is essential. The loss of work through the failure of hardware or poor file management procedures will
NOT be accepted as a reason for the non-submission of work. Failure to meet deadlines because of these reasons will attract
the same penalty as non- completion.
DISCLAIMER
I certify that this assignment is entirely my own work and all sources that were used in its preparation were correctly
acknowledged. I have not shared my work with other students.

Task

3. Hillcrest Christian College, Senior IPT, Major Project – Term 3, 2013
Page 3 of 16
You are required to design, implement and evaluate a single page web application (SPA)for a
particular functional purpose or client (proposed by you) using JavaScript, HTML and any other
approved W3C language (i.e. CSS, XML).
It is critical to acknowledge that the bulk of the criteria for this productwill be aimed at the student’s
knowledge and application of programming techniques (JavaScript); other web technologies only
provide the vehicle or scaffolding for this to occur.
The project is broken into four phases, with submission requiredat each phase.
You are required to maintain a daily log that records date, location (home or school), activities
undertaken, and any problems identified. This will form part of your assessment and must be
submitted with each phase.
Use the Design -> Develop -> Evaluate cycle as specified below.
Required Elements
To think about:
 Your completed proposal must include appropriate explanations at each stage of the
software development cycle.
 You will need to keep a log of work in progress and to complete a project plan and
status report so that your team leader can view your progress at any time.
 Your audience for your proposal is the client who will be responsible for deciding on
future funding for your project.
 Your purpose is to convince them you have a worthwhile concept and that your project
should be supported by further development.
 Once you have decided on which project to tackle, you must negotiate with your team
leader (teacher) for tentative concept approval.
 A suitable application should be as fool proof as possible.
 The proposed application should reflect the aspects of good program design such as
validation, error trapping and confirmation.
 The resulting project should include a use of a range of data structures including text or
data files, arrays, and records and should also involve string manipulation.
 Your purpose of this major project is to demonstrate your competency within all design
aspects of the software development cycle.
 Implementation of the design into a working application is a required aspect of this
project and program code will be marked. Some assistance may be given with
implementing more complex and advanced sections of the code from a prepared design
(ie you must know what it is you want to do before you ask how to do it)
 The program should be well documented(planning & code commenting) and should
come with a user manual.

Conditions
1. One or two lessons per week will be allocated to prepare the project. This reflects
integration with other topic areas.
2. A logbook must be kept of your participation in this project.
3. The project plan and status report must be kept up-to-date at all times throughout the
project.
4 Throughout the project you will be given direction on what to do next, and feedback
on how you are performing. Teacher assistance will be provided as allocated
(drafting) or requested to clarify methods and format and to redirect where mistakes
have occurred.
5 Students who depend on teacher direction will need to clearly document that
assistance and levels awarded will be adjusted accordingly.
6 Interim due dates apply. No extensions will be granted for interim work.
7 Applications for a final extension must be applied for before the due date. It is your
responsibility to keep a current backup of data. Loss of data for any reason will not be
accepted as grounds for an extension.
While not a requirement of the project, it is strongly recommended that all written work be
word processed.
