The purpose of setting up CS203 - Investigative Studio I is to create an environment that closely resembles a professional studio, to help you prepare for future work in such settings. 

This is a space for you to hone in on the investigative skills and apply the knowledge that you have learned in: 

  • CS201 - Elective A module (Game Programming/ Data Science/ Cloud Computing/ Networking), and 
  • CS202 - Cross-Platform Development, as well as  
  • CS203 - Investigative Studio I, new concepts and practices 

 

This module has been structured to allow you the time to: 

  • revisit old concepts,  
  • explore new and relevant case studies and examples,  
  • and applying project management practices to complete a prototype.  

 

This module looks at the summative assessment as a reference point for the stages you need to complete leading up to submission. On successful completion of this assessment, you will be able to: 

  • Generate prototypes as proofs-of-concept for proposed software products. 
  • Demonstrate an understanding of experimental practice-based inquiry. 
  • Monitor social sensitivity to form and work within teams. 
  • Identify, and work towards, individual learning goals through reflective practice.
