Course abstract

The aim of the project is to strengthen the knowledge acquired during the study course System Analysis and Modeling InfT2041, to analyse the requirements for a future system and to learn how to sequentially create models of system structure and functionality. Students need to independently choose a system, describe and model the structure and operating principles, create a system prototype.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

1. Students know about the types and basic principles of systems analysis and modeling, UML and business process notations - project description.
2. Students know how to read and create UML and business process diagrams, design information systems - project description, project presentation and defence.
3. Using modeling languages and tools, students are able to independently analyse and describe the structure and functionality of the system - project description, project presentation and defence.

Requirements for awarding credit points

The project needs to be developed according to the requirements of the faculty and defended.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

At the beginning of the semester, students receive project requirements and evaluation criteria. Each student needs to choose a topic individually and coordinate it with the project supervisor. During the semester, the student develops the project according to the chosen topic independently, in consultation with the project supervisor. By the set deadline, the student must submit a project description, which is designed in accordance with the methodological rules for the design of projects, bachelor's theses and master's theses. During the session, the project is defended.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The grade of the project consists of:
development of diagrams - 60%;
creating a system prototype - 10%;
description and design of the project - 20%;
defending the project and answering questions - 10%.
