FIT3162

Assessment structure is odd. Each week (starting from week 2) it alternates from a recorded individual video of your progress / what you've contributed to the group to a recorded video of your group conducting a meeting. Thankfully there seems to be a lot less writing required as compared to FIT3161. They don't seem to care about code quality at all, more just the finished product in W12 (at least that's what it seems like - I'm writing this in week 3 of the semester) My major complaint about this unit is the lack of professionalism and encouragement. You’d think they want the best for students, to train them up and prepare them for the workforce, but instead it’s a semester of nitpicking everything you do wrong, and presentations where you’ll get interrupted by the tutors midway through for questions. Incredibly discouraging and is no way inspiring for students. Overall, chill unit as long as you stay on track with the code and your team is good at getting together to chat once a week, but doesn't really teach you good practises for a real-world project (as compared to projects I have undertaken at work). Your group will probably be the saving grace, so choose wisely.
