Outcomes

  • Summary of the learning outcomes

This unit aims to:

  • Write a Python program which applies a factory design pattern to generate objects
  • Discuss the fact that multiple design patterns are able to be applied together to support a single code development
  • Describe the design patterns which are more likely to be applied with one another in a single code package

  • Artefacts

    The projects of the unit to achieve those learning outcomes:

    Seminar: Design Patterns
  • Design Patterns

  • Reflection

What exactly have I learnt and how?

In this unit, I took the time to update my e-portfolio for submission. I am glad I have already developed my e-portfolio in the first module. Since the structure of my e-portfolio is built, I only need to update each unit page and upload the projects of those units. I also learned more about design patterns and their instrumental role in developing software systems. I know that I will use some of them to develop my projects in the future.

  • Notes

Notes from the elaboration of the unit, various meetings, and feedback from team members and tutors

Feedback from tutor on my Assignment: e-Portfolio Submission
The e-portfolio itself is good and is nicely presented, you have included good evidence to support your work. You demonstrate a good understanding to the module and have clearly actively contributed to your own learning.
The reflective writing is a good start, however, you have focused very heavily on the topics that you learned throughout the module. I would suggest taking a broader view going forwards and consider the wider implications on your own learning going forwards. For example, what worked well for you and how will you carry that forwards?
