CMT119 Computational Thinking

This website should contain at least three (3) pages, which are described below.
You are free to add additional pages if you like, but you must cover the minimum contents:

1. An introductory guide to Computational Thinking. In this you should describe what

you understand by Computational Thinking, and why it is important within the

context of your programme of study, and your current/future career.

2. A short (300-400 word) biography of a famous computer scientist or someone who

has influenced the field or a related field. This does not need to be long and detailed,

but should provide an overview of who the person is and why they are important for

Computer Science. This absolutely must not just be information copied and pasted

from Wikipedia in any way at all.

3. A short (400-500 word) reflection on what you have learnt in this module, and how

that will impact on your learning for the rest of your course

This website must be hosted and available to view on project.cs.cf.ac.uk. A link to the hosted

version of the page must be submitted alongside the code created as part of the assignment.

Instructions for how to host webpages on project.cs.cf.ac.uk can be found here:

The website will be assessed on your use of HTML and CSS, and the contents of the website,

but not on the design. You should endeavour to write clear, concise and semantically correct

HTML, and efficient and clear CSS, but it is not necessary for your page to look pretty or

professional!

Learning Outcomes Assessed

1. Decompose problems and apply computational processes to derive solutions

This is assessed by asking you to reflect upon what you have learnt about

Computational Thinking and produce a short introductory guide explaining what you

understand it to be, and how it relates to your studies and personal development.

2. Complete fundamental programming tasks

This is assessed by asking you to use HTML and CSS to create a simple website.

3. Use software development best practices

This is assessed by asking you to use to use HTML and CSS correctly and efficiently

within your assignment, and to produce code that is hosted online.
