Mode This assignment is developmental and cumulative. Successive parts of this
assignment depend on previous parts. You are strongly advised to undertake these
parts as soon as possible in your study. Leaving your starting date to the week
before the due date is a very poor strategy for success in this unit.
Marks A marking scheme will be posted on MySCU to help you direct your efforts
successfully.
Task Description
Your assignments (assignment-1 and assignment-2) require you to develop a web application for a hypothetical
DVD rental e-shop. . The final application is similar to:
http://infotech.scu.edu.au/~vinh/moviezone/index.php or
http://infotech.scu.edu.au/emporium
From this moment, I will refer to the application as the movie_zone or the app.
When you have completed the assignment you are required to;
• Upload your web application to your student directory (on the school’s server infotech.scu.edu.au)
• Upload a zip file of your site (and the design documentation) to the MySCU assignments folder.
Note to IBS students: Please check with your local lecturer/tutor the submission requirements for your
assignments. Typically, they will be different from on-shore students of Southern Cross University.
Please note that all material used on your website has to comply with the Southern Cross University “Web
Hosting and Publishing Policy” located at:
http://www.scu.edu.au/it/download.php?doc_id=3379&site_id=36

In Assignment 2, you will redevelop version 1 of the application to a fully working application. The following
is the detailed description of Assignment 2:
Page | 2

Part-A: Implementation. In this part you will implement and test version 2 of the application. Version 2 will
have to meet all functional and non-functional requirements you have specified in the design document. The
following are the key features of the version 2:
• The application should allow anyone to:
o Search for movies by different categories such as by stars, directors, genre, new releases
etc.
o Find the movie shop location on the map with information about the contact person,
telephone numbers and email addresses; and submit online requests to the shop via web
interface.
o Get online support about using the application
o Join and become a registered customer
 NOTE: JavaScript is the only allowable language for error checking on the join
page.
• The application should allow registered customers to:
o Check if a movie is available for hire
o Book a movie DVD or Blu-ray from the shop if available (maximum of 5)
• The application should allow the shop manager to
o Add/delete/update movies in the database
o Add/delete/update customer details
o Generate report about the movie stock.
• The application provides a responsive user interface that can adapt to at least two type of devices:
desktop and mobile.
Part-B: Documentation. In this part you will provide a Gantt chart showing your initial development plan, a
Gantt chart showing your actual development progress and a paragraph discussing about what you have done
well and what you could do better in this progress. A Gantt chart is a visual view of tasks scheduled over time.
Gantt charts are a useful way of showing what work is scheduled to be done on a specific day. To create a
Gantt chart you can use MS Excel or free online tools such as https://teamweek.com/free-online-gantt-
chart.html.

Assignment-2 guideline
Part-A: Implementation
If you have version 1 working, implementing version 2 is straightforward. It is a good idea to implement and
test each functional requirement independently. Note that each topic has a section called assignment advice so
follow the advice in each topic to manage your development progress. If you have any questions, post them
on the unit forum and get them solved as soon as possible since you have a strict 12-week time frame. Contact
your tutor for the help if you cannot find solutions to your problems within 24 hours.
Part-B: Documentation
Create a Gantt chart for yourself at the beginning of the assignment and put your initial development plan in
the chart. Adjust the chart as you go to reflect the development. The chart will help you in keeping track of the
development task.
Assignment-2 Marking Rubric
A spreadsheet that will be used for the marking of your site is provided (co-located with this assignment
specification) on MySCU to itemise exactly what tutors will be looking at in relation to marking your website.
It contains a detailed breakdown of the marking criteria for this assignment. I strongly suggest you peruse
this spreadsheet.
Submission Format
When you have completed the assignment, you are required to submit your assignment (a zip file containing
your complete site and the design document) to the MySCU assignment folder. The zip file will be named
using the following convention:
filename = FirstInitialYourLastName_CSC10217_Ass2.zip
(i.e. FJones_CSC10217_Ass2.zip)
Additionally, you are required to upload your site to your student directory (on the school’s server
infotech.scu.edu.au) and verify that all works well.
Note to IBS students: Please check with your local lecturer/tutor the submission requirements for your
assignments. Typically, they will be different from on-shore students of Southern Cross University.
More information
All design documents must be contained in one single word/pdf document. Drawings and diagrams should be
placed into the design document. Files created in non-university standard programs cannot be accepted, as the
marker may not be able to view them.
In this assignment, you can use any HTML/PHP design environment you desire to complete your website.
However, please note the following:
• All HTML pages and CSS files must validate.
• JavaScript is the only allowable language for error checking on the join page.

My Recommendations (what I used) are as follows:
• Notepad++ to author all HTML, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL.
• XAMPP for testing all of these files on my Home PC (Apache 2, PHP & MySQL).
All software mentioned here can be downloaded (For Free).
Original work
It is a University requirement that a student’s work complies with the Academic Policy, Chapter 4.20 on
Student Academic Integrity. It is a student’s responsibility to be familiar with the Policy.
Failure to comply with the Policy can have severe consequences in the form of University sanctions. For
information on this Policy please refer to Chapter 4.20 on Student Academic Integrity at the following website:
http://www.scu.edu.au/governance/academicboard/policy/
As part of a University initiative to support the development of academic integrity, assessments may be
checked for plagiarism, including through an electronic system, either internally or by a plagiarism checking
service, and be held for future checking and matching purposes.
Retain duplicate copy
Before submitting the assignment, you are advised to retain electronic copies of original work. In the event of
any uncertainty regarding the submission of assessment items, you may be requested to reproduce a final copy.
School Extension Policy
All assessment tasks submitted during the study period will normally be marked and returned within two weeks
of the required date of submission (provided that the assessment materials have been submitted by the due
date).
If you need an extension/special consideration for an assignment you will need to fill in the "Special
Consideration for Assessment" form. If the requested extension is for more than 48 hours you will need to
include some documentary proof of the reason you need the extension (i.e. doctors certificate etc.). Remember
that extensions will not be granted on due dates of the assignments (except in exceptional situations) - get your
request in before the assignment is due.
To streamline and improve the special consideration process, new eForms have been developed that will enable
students to submit an application electronically via MyEnrolment for:
• Special Consideration for Assessment (extension and marking)
• Special Exam Application

Extensions within 24 hours of submission or following the submission deadline will not be granted (unless
supported by a doctor’s certificate or where there are exceptional circumstances – this will be at the unit
assessor’s discretion and will be considered on a case by case basis).
A penalty of 5% of the total available grade will accrue for each 24-hour period that an assessment item is
submitted late. Therefore, an assessment item worth 20 marks will have 1 mark deducted for every 24-hour
period and at the end of 20 days will receive 0 marks.
Page | 5

Students who fail to submit following the guidelines in this Unit Information Guide will be deemed to have
not submitted the assessment item and the above penalty will be applied until the specified submission
guidelines are followed.

Marks and Feedback
All assessment materials submitted during the semester will normally be marked and returned within two
weeks of the required date of submission (provided that the assessment materials have been submitted by the
due date).
Marks will be made available to each student via the MySCU Grade book.
