Coursework - Year 1
Assignment 1 - Tax Chart and Calculator
The first coursework we were tasked with in Java involved creating a Tax Calculator which then displayed a bar chart showing income and amount to pay.
Show me the code!
/**
* Prints table of data with gross,tax paid and net values
*
* @param gross gross income before tax
*/
public void printTable(int[]gross){
int[] net;
net = new int[gross.length];
//for loop prints each of gross income, net income , and tax paid on the gross income.
for(int row = 0;row<=(gross.length -1);row++){
net[row] = ((gross[row])-(TaxCalculator.taxPayable(gross[row])));
//ensures the net income is never less then 0
if (net[row]<0){
net[row]=0;
}
//prints out the values to the console
System.out.println("Gross:" +gross[row] + " Tax-Payable:" + (TaxCalculator.taxPayable(gross[row])) + " Net:" + net[row]);
}
}
Assignment 2 - Hotel booking system
The second coursework we were tasked with in Java involved creating a hotel booking system using OOP; this did not require a GUI.
Assignment 1 - Web Browser
The coursework we were tasked with in Java in the second semester was to create a browser that would display webpages and required a GUI, we were told to use Swing for this.
Assignment 1 - Programming Presentation
Research and present information on a programming language of our choosing, including a written report of the information.
Assignment 2 - Ethics in Software Engineering
This coursework involved choosing a computing disaster to discuss, mainly about the ethics behind the disaster, what happened, how it happened and what could have been done to prevent it.
The topic I decided to choose was 000webhost and their database breach of plain text information; over 13.5 million users details and passwords.
Assignment 3 - Usability Analysis (Sprint)
Using Nielsen's 10 Usablity Heuristics where appropriate we were tasked with testing out the universities blackboard system.
Assignment 4 - Literature Review
Using Google Scholar we were to find 3 literature pieces from trusted and reliable sources based on a subject in computing science, I opted to choose AI and Machine Learning; this wasn't a suggested topic however I find this subject interesting.
Assignment 5 - Debugging PreWritten Code
The code we were given had been written specifically for the purpose of testing and debugging, it had issues injected purposefully.
Assignment 1 - Lift Simulator
Using assembly language, we were tasked with controlling a lift.
We had a very limited amount of memory to work with.
Show me the code!

Assignment 1 - Copy a Website using image
Using just an image and some pre-written text, we were tasked with marking up the text so that the page had the same underlying structure as a website and then using CSS to make it look like the final result.
Assignment 2 - Develop Tutorial Website
Voice clips and slides from the course are laid out in easy to use sections separating the different topics of the course.
The user can utilise what they have learnt from the website and gain feedback immediately by using the live HTML, CSS, Javascript testing area, this function was adapted from some code I found online, the layout changes depending on what section of the tutorial website the user is on (shown in the pictures).
This testing area can expand to accommodate more lines as needed.
