Explanation of the appropriateness of the assessment methods in assessing the


intended learning outcomes:

Continuous assessments consist of project, assignments, lab exercises, and


quizzes, which are designed to facilitate students to achieve intended learning
outcomes. Lab exercise is designed to encourage students to acquire good
understanding of the relevant knowledge, practice in order to enrich their
hands-on experience with various software tools. The project is designed to
enhance students’ ability to acquire the understanding and using different
knowledge, principles, techniques, tools to solve a real problem through team.
Quizzes are to ensure the students understand the concepts.

Examination will evaluate student’s understanding and usage of machine


learning and data analytics techniques.
