Unit content
1. Introduction to computational thinking and problem formulation
2. Big Data Types and Data Structures
3. Algorithms for Big Data
4. Introducing Computational Models
5. Computational Models and Simple Visualisation
6. Automation and Evaluation
Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
| On completion of this unit, students should be able to: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | analyse problems and related data to determine an appropriate solution |
| 2 | use suitable data structures and algorithms for solving a problem |
| 3 | design and develop algorithms and computational models to solve problems |
| 4 | apply evaluation techniques in order to determine appropriate solutions to a problem |
On completion of this unit, students should be able to:
- analyse problems and related data to determine an appropriate solution
- use suitable data structures and algorithms for solving a problem
- design and develop algorithms and computational models to solve problems
- apply evaluation techniques in order to determine appropriate solutions to a problem
