Assignment 4 – Final Mobile App

Assignment 4: Final Mobile App
Due Date: Friday Week 14 (10th June, 11:55PM) - Weight: 30%

Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is to produce a complete iOS application based on the idea
described in your App Design Specification (Assignment 1). This assessment tests your ability
to apply knowledge from all topics covered throughout semester

Completion of this assessment should demonstrate the following learning outcomes:

  • Analyse mobile interface guidelines and technical constraints to design effective
    navigation and user interfaces for mobile apps
  • Apply common object-oriented design patterns such as Model-View-Controller and
    Delegation
  • Follow iOS best practices to design, construct and test non-trivial iOS apps with a web
    service component

Task:
For this assignment, you will develop and submit a complete iOS app based upon the design
submitted for Assignment 1. You should have already demonstrated considerable progress
towards the final version of your application through the demonstrations of your app
development (Assignment 3).

Your app should be built to a high standard using the knowledge you have gained throughout
FIT3178 as well as via further research into iOS development. Your app should demonstrate
both a robust implementation of functionality as outlined in Assignment 1 as well as a high-
quality user interface design.

You will demonstrate your completed app to your lab demonstrator during a 30-minute
interview during Week 15 (the week after the submission deadline). This provides you with the
opportunity to showcase your app running in your development environment or personal
device(s) and discuss the final source code.

It is expected that you will be able to provide a live demonstration of your application on the
day of your presentation. If this is going to be an issue or you have additional requirements for
your demonstration, please consult with your lab demonstrator prior to your demonstration.

Marking Criteria:
This assessment is worth 30% of your total marks for this unit.

Assignment 4 – Final Mobile App

Your app will be graded in terms of the overall quality of implemented functionality (the code)
and the user experience when using your application (the demonstration). An outline of criteria
for this assessment is outlined below:

UI Design – 20 Marks
● Visual UI Design
o The app interface is aesthetically pleasing and professional
o UI design is appropriate for the target audience
o Interface uses the appropriate UI controls and is consistent across the app
● Usability and Navigation
o All screens of content are accessible from the user interface
o Errors are handled with informative error messages
o It is clear how to interact with and use all parts of the app
o The app follows the advice outlined in the Apple Human Interface Guidelines

Application Functionality – 40 Marks
● Overall Quality of Functionality
o Key features outlined in the project specification are implemented
o Features work correctly in the demonstration without issues (no bugs)
o Exceptions/errors are handled appropriately and don’t crash the application at
any stage
● Overall Complexity of Functionality
o A sufficient level of complexity in implemented features is demonstrated
o All technology requirements from Assignment 1 spec are included
o Use of API features beyond those shown in lab exercises and workshops

Programming Implementation – 40 Marks
● Overall Code Quality
o The app shows appropriate use of MVC and OO design
o The app shows appropriate use of frameworks and patterns (e.g., Delegation,
View Controllers, Closures)
o The code follows appropriate naming conventions for Swift code for class
properties. protocols, methods, variables, etc.
● Overall Code Documentation
o There are well written, clear comments throughout the code to explain structure
and design
o Code comments demonstrate a clear understanding of Swift code and utilised
iOS frameworks
o All use of online sources is appropriately referenced
o The app includes a view with acknowledgements of any included libraries

Assignment 4 – Final Mobile App

Submission Requirements:
Your assignment will need to be submitted online via Moodle. Your project should be
submitted as a zip archive containing the app code, documentation (and any backend
implementation code / datasets, if applicable). Ensure that the archive is named using the
following convention STUDENTNAME-A4-FinalApplication.zip.

As this assessment is due during the examination period, you may potentially have multiple
examinations scheduled on or near the assignment due date. If so, please contact your lab
demonstrator and provide your examination timetable and you may be granted an extension.

Failure to submit your assignment on time will result in a 10%-mark penalty for each day late
(including weekends) up to a maximum of 7 days late. Submissions later than 7 days will
receive a mark of 0.

If you are unable to work on your assignment for a significant period due to circumstances
beyond your control, you may be able to apply for special consideration. Special
consideration applications must be sent to Monash Connect via the following link
https://www.monash.edu/connec...
Supporting documentation will need to be submitted with the application.

Acknowledgment of third-party materials
It is critical that you provide attribution for any external resource used to create your app, even
if modified for your own purposes.
● Any open-source library used must be given attribution based upon its license
requirements. You can use an About screen in your app to present the libraries used
and their license notices.
● Any other external resources that you have used (such as YouTube video tutorials,
StackOverflow answers, etc.) must be acknowledged within your app’s source code.

Failure to appropriately attribute or acknowledge materials used to develop your application can
be considered as plagiarism and may result in a mark of 0 being awarded for the assessment.
