5 3. Programme Description 3.1 Overview The Computer Information Systems curriculum at Lincoln is informed by academic theory and provides a framework with which to analyse the potential and actual performance of business systems. This course addresses the gap between the client's requirements and the design and construction of information systems and their use and management. Your first year introduces computer systems in theory and practice, data structures and web technologies, software development, problem-solving and information systems. In the second year, you cover subjects including business processes and human-computer interaction. The third year sees studies progress onto more specialist areas, such as business intelligence, computer vision, robotics or software engineering, and you undertake an independent project. If you choose the MComp programme, a fourth year of study enables you to develop skills in research methods, and you will complete a substantive live project working with an external client in an area of specific interest to you. 3.2 Aims and Objectives MComp Computer Information Systems aims to provide students with an education and learning experience that will equip them to operate on graduation as autonomous computing professionals. The programme aims to instil knowledge and to develop critical and intellectual abilities applicable to problem solving and solution specifying in technologically and socially diverse environments. The curriculum takes as its objectives the study of information, systems, people and technology: a collection of foci which pervade the curriculum, providing developmental strands that offer continuity of learning experience through all levels of study. MComp Computer Information Systems is distinctive in that it addresses an emerging gap between the design and implementation of information systems and the management, support and integration of such systems into business activity. The juxtaposition in the curriculum of theoretical and applied emphases seeks to develop practitioners who are able to make real contributions within a systems development context. MComp Computer Information Systems offers students a wider and deeper educational experience than the corresponding BSc (Hons) Computer Information Systems, including an element of Masters level study. Much text on Information Systems relates to what ought to happen rather than what often does happen in organisations. Technology is often portrayed as a panacea which will fix all business related problems. However, the number of unsuccessful I.T. projects clearly demonstrates that this is not the case. MComp Computer Information Systems distinguishes itself by contrasting popular theory with real theory. It takes a critical perspective on theory in practice and provides frameworks to analyse business systems in terms of real potential and actual performance. The exit profile of a graduate in this degree is someone who has a realistic perspective on issues in business and management, who also understands the capabilities of computing as a resource and can translate business needs into computing applications. The exiting graduate will be ideally placed to follow a career as a hybrid manager of computer related information systems; they will be able to communicate in business language to business people and technological language to technologists. Having studied modules at masters level, MComp students graduate with a greater depth of knowledge in their subject area and with a stronger practical understanding of research tools and techniques thereby providing them with an edge in the job market. QAA Subject Benchmark Statement(s): This programme responds to the United Kingdom QAA benchmark statements for the subject of Computing. Benchmarking analysis provides a detailed specification of the relationship between this programme's curriculum and the relevant QAA benchmark(s). Page 5/39

6 Internal contexts: Programmes in the School of Computer Science can be taken as three year BSc (Hons) awards or four year BSc (Hons) awards that include an optional sandwich work placement. Programmes are also available as four year MComp (Master of Computing) awards or five year MComp awards if the optional sandwich placement is also taken. The School is the home for research centres concerned with Computer Vision, in Autonomous Systems including Robotics and in Social Computing as well as a number of emerging research groups. Study programmes have been structured to exploit this expertise and to ensure that wherever possible, teaching is informed by current research. Opportunities for students to become familiar with and ultimately involved in research activity are actively promoted. The School is located in the College of Science and integrates with other Colleges, Schools and Departments through the provision of collaborative awards at undergraduate and postgraduate level. This integration is further consolidated through the College s committee structures, through Research seminar programmes and through cross college staff and student development and other collaborative activities. External contexts: MComp Computer Information Systems is part of an ongoing response to changes in the discipline of computer science and its emerging and volatile application contexts. The programme particularly seeks to acknowledge and formalise relationships between the maturing theory and practice of computing and information systems development. A range of successful I.T. focused companies, including HBS, e2v and Siemens, operate within easy reach of the University and regularly engage with students of the College of Science through project briefs, work experience and industrial liaison. Besides these local companies, the College has been successful in engaging business from outside the region to work with staff and student groups. As the School s international research portfolio develops the number of international, national and regional partnerships with commercial, academic, charitable and other institutions has seen huge growth. An example of this is the multi-million Euro project Pravda funded by EPSRC and Wellcome Foundation to develop new and better treatments for cancer. The College is also growing its relationship with industry through Knowledge Transfer Partnerships and through its relationship with Sparkhouse Studios. This MComp programme complies fully with the Bologna agreement in: its designation as an Integrated Masters programmes; the volume of study undertaken at M-Level; the distinction between the M-Level award made after four years of full-time study and the separate Bachelor s exit award that recognises three years of full-time study. 3.3 Variations to Standard Regulations and Guidance Yes - see the Approved Variations to the University's Undergraduate Regulations: Page 6/39

10 5. Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategies 5.1. Learning and Teaching Strategy The programme is a four-year integrated Masters degree, comprising study modules from the undergraduate portfolio and study and project work at M-Level. The teaching and learning strategies adopted follow those of the equivalently named BSc (Hons) programme. Students follow the same diet of modules up to the end of Level 3. At Level 4, they conduct a significant large-scale individual project, investigate postgraduate research techniques and take additional subject specific and M-Level optional study modules. The teaching and learning strategy derives from the programme learning outcomes and is influenced by a school initiative to emphasize optionality and student choice in the context of an integrated suite of related programmes. Knowledge and understanding are developed in a number of ways: student engagement and participation in scheduled activities such as lectures and workshops; following directed reading and undertaking wider reading and study; through primary and secondary research activity such as using the physical library or the stock of on-line journals and e-books. Subject specific intellectual skills are developed in a number of ways: by engaging with the formative and summative assessment tasks; by peer review, self-appraisal and self-evaluation; being challenged to justify assumptions and recommendations made. Subject specific practical skills are developed in a number of ways: by using software development tools and programming environments; using both standard and less-popular applications for generation of documents; developing research techniques to analyse, evaluate and justify solutions. Transferable skills and attributes are developed in a number of ways: planning and executing activities; undertaking project work; managing time in routine and deadline situations; working as a member and as a leader of a team. Each student is assigned a personal tutor at the start of their programme. During the initial year the tutoring role is undertaken by a member of the teaching team. Students will have a weekly scheduled meeting with their tutor to discuss progress and to monitor performance and engagement and provide a forum for frank exchange and to ask questions and raise issues. Meetings will often take place in small groups of approximately six students but will occasionally be on an individual basis to promote open and free discussion. During the first year, students will be encouraged through a range of directed activities to develop their transferrable skills in particular communications, research skills, presentation skills and group work. Later in the programme all students will have a designated project supervisor who will take on the role of personal tutor. Students continue to have weekly access to their tutor on a scheduled basis throughout the remainder of their programme. Throughout all levels of study students are presented with opportunities to engage in tutorial support, either physically or virtually to ensure appropriate transferable and subject specific skills are appropriately developed. All personal tutors monitor the engagement of their tutees both in terms of attendance and academic performance. Tutors will discuss engagement with their tutees both informally and at certain key points in the calendar, on a more formal basis of progress review. Module tutors all publish surgery hours for students taking their modules and undertake to be available for these times to deal with questions about the content of the material. All modules host a site on the Virtual Learning environment where students can access information such as lecture slides, workshop tasks, hand-in dates for assignment work etc. Programme briefing documents, study and assessment materials for all modules are delivered via the VLE as part of a responsive, locally managed, service. In the early stages of the programme emphasis is placed on managed approaches to knowledge acquisition and the development of core understanding. The primary delivery vehicles at this stage are lectures. Plenary workshop activities provide an opportunity for review of material and practical Page 1/39

11 application. These devices attempt to establish important conceptual frameworks; to instil an appropriate value set and to provide a map of the discipline and those aspects that will be key foci for further study. Workshops and practical exercises more usually support skill development curricula and learning materials are used extensively to facilitate individually paced skill acquisition and development. The programme is largely common with other programmes, giving a broad basis of understanding, and the possibility of transfer to other related programmes. As the study programme progresses project-based and student-led/tutor directed approaches are introduced to encourage the notion of learner independence and to promote application of developing competencies. The tendency at this stage is for more modules to challenge student assimilation, ability to apply and critique. Options are introduced, allowing students to tune the programme to their own interests and abilities, drawing upon the material available from other programmes in the School. At Level 4 students are encouraged and expected to demonstrate a large degree of learner autonomy and critical reflection. The MComp Research Project, taken at Level four, gives students the opportunity to undertake a significant scale M-Level individual project, with strong elements of research and implementation. The MComp Research Project enables students to demonstrate their ability to build upon and exploit knowledge and skills gained in earlier stages of the programme. Furthermore it provides the opportunity for students to exhibit critical and original thinking based on a period of independent study and learning. Students will meet regularly with their supervisor throughout the project period. The research project is evaluated primarily through a dissertation; guidance on selecting the project and writing the dissertation is provided during the Research Methods study module. Learning in project based modules is typically negotiated between supervisor and student in an effort to establish scope and to specify assessment requirements. Opportunities for students to become familiar with and ultimately involved in research activity are actively promoted and supported by the University s Student As Producer initiative Assessment Strategy A wide range of assessment vehicles and styles are deployed; the assessment mode for each module is chosen to appropriately respond to subject content and learning outcomes and also to acknowledge the maturity and sophistication of the candidate group. Throughout the programme, but particularly at the early stages of Level 1, students are introduced to formative in-class testing as a means of both self-assessment and rehearsal of assessment technique. Examinations as tests of knowledge and understanding are deployed where appropriate. The curriculum also includes instances of multiple-choice, open book, closed book and practical/research-based time constrained assessment. Wherever an examination or a time-constrained test is scheduled a mock or sample test is always run to give students an indication of the style and level of the test being employed. In-course assessment techniques are equally varied and are targeted at individuals and, where appropriate, group submissions. Coursework portfolios are widely used at Level 1 and in practical modules as a mechanism for managing breadth and complexity and as an instrument for providing ongoing feedback. In their final level students undertake a substantial project activity that affords the opportunity for significant practical and research focused activity and assessment. Submissions of all coursework items take place by upload to the Virtual Learning Environment. Wherever appropriate, submissions are subject to plagiarism detection software: students are made aware of this and are provided with support and guidance concerning plagiarism and other academic offences. Tutors mark coursework via the VLE and feedback to students is provided through the same medium.
