Your web site will form a consistent whole and reflect the navigation map. The user must be able to navigate round your site with confidence that if they select a menu item they are taken to the page that deals with that topic. You should ensure that the user progression down a particular menu path forms a coherent journey through the subject. Some form of content evaluation must be shown to have taken place, by including your production notes. It is expected that the pages will contain images, icons and text with some use of JavaScript.

Important

Plagiarism is a form of cheating. All forms of cheating are prohibited by the University Regulations. By signing a contract with the University you have agreed to abide by the University Regulations, including not to cheat. In addition, there is a clause on the assignment cover sheet which states that by handing in assessment work, you promise that it is your own and that you have not cheated. The penalties for cheating range from, at a minimum, being given 0% for the module in question and being required to resit it, to permanent expulsion from the University.

Plagiarism in web site design includes stealing another site from the web, modifying it and pretending it is your own work: copying and pasting text or significant code from other sites into your own and pretending that you wrote it: and getting somebody else to do the work and pretending that you did it.

In the last delivery of this module 18 students were caught submitting plagiarised work. The University has highly-developed and very effective processes, including specialist software, to detect plagiarism in any form. You are strongly advised not to attempt to plagiarise work: there is very high likelihood of your being caught and the risk of your being expelled from the University. If you have any doubt at all as to what constitutes plagiarism, or any other form of cheating in your work, speak to your module tutor.
