| Re-assessment of Result & Academic Appeal procedures: |
| If a student at Queensland International Business Academy is not happy with his/ her results, the student may appeal against their result via a written letter, clearly stating the grounds of appeal to the MSS / DSS. This should be submitted after completion of the subject and within 14 days of commencement of the new term. Re-assessment Process: An appeal in writing is made to the ACC / MSS providing reasons for re-assessment /appeal.ACC / MSS will delegate another faculty member of QIBA to review the assessment.The student will be advised of the review result done by another assessor.If the student is still not satisfied and further challenges the decision, then a review panel is formed comprising the lecturer/trainer in charge, the ACC, the MSS and the DSS OR if need be an external assessor.The Institute will advise the student of the appeal decision within 14 days from the submission date of the appeal. The decision of the panel will be deemed to be final.If the student is still not satisfied with the result, the he / she has the right to seek independent advice or follow external mediation option with QIBA’s nominated mediation agency.Any student who fails a compulsory subject or appeals unsuccessfully will be required to re-enroll in that subject. The cost of reassessment will be borne by the Institute. The external assessor will base his/her judgement based on principles of assessment. These principles require assessment to be reliable, fair, practical and valid. Academic Appeals: If the student is dissatisfied with the outcome of the assessment marking process, he/she has a right to appeal the assessment results.The notice of appeal should be in writing addressed to the MSS / ACC and submitted within seven days of notification of the assessment results. If the appeal is not lodged in the specified time, the result will stand as marked. In emergency circumstances, such as in cases of serious illness or injury, the student must forward a medical certificate in support of a deferred appeal. The notice of appeal must be made within three working days of the concluding date shown on the medical certificate. The decision of MSS / ACC will be discussed with the DSS and will be final. For further information please refer to Student Handbook. |

Specification and Task
(Covering elements – ICTPRG418 – 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 3.1, 3.2, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6)
Driving Knowledge Test Program contain 3 parts:
- Login
- Question
- Test Knowledge and Result
User will login to the system to access the “Driving Knowledge Test” program. According to level, user will get access for 2nd and 3rd part of that. Admin user can Add/Update/Delete question and test their knowledge. Ordinary user only can test their knowledge and check the result.
Using Visual studio and VB.net create a windows application for the “Driving Knowledge Test “. Consider the following naming, layout and commenting conventions when coding:
i) Naming convention
- Begin each separate word in a name with a capital letter, as in FindLastRecord and RedrawMyForm.
- Begin function and method names with a verb, as in InitNameArray or CloseDialog.
- Begin class, structure, module, and property names with a noun, as in EmployeeName or CarAccessory.
- Begin interface names with the prefix “I”, followed by a noun or a noun phrase, like IComponent, or with an adjective describing the interface’s behavior, like IPersistable. Do not use the underscore, and use abbreviations sparingly, because abbreviations can cause confusion.
- Begin event handler names with a noun describing the type of event followed by the “EventHandler” suffix, as in “MouseEventHandler”.
- In names of event argument classes, include the “EventArgs” suffix.
- If an event has a concept of “before” or “after,” use a suffix in present or past tense, as in “ControlAdd” or “ControlAdded”.
- For long or frequently used terms, use abbreviations to keep name lengths reasonable, for example, “HTML”, instead of “Hypertext Markup Language”. In general, variable names greater than 32 characters are difficult to read on a monitor set to a low resolution. Also, make sure your abbreviations are consistent throughout the entire application. Randomly switching in a project between “HTML” and “Hypertext Markup Language” can lead to confusion.
- Avoid using names in an inner scope that are the same as names in an outer scope. Errors can result if the wrong variable is accessed. If a conflict occurs between a variable and the keyword of the same name, you must identify the keyword by preceding it with the appropriate type library. For example, if you have a variable called Date, you can use the intrinsic Date function only by calling DateTime.Date.
ii) Layout Conventions
Good layout uses formatting to emphasize the structure of the code and makes code easier to read.
- Use the pretty listing feature to format code with the default settings (smart indenting, 4 character indents, save tabs as spaces).
- Use only one statement per line. Do not use the Visual Basic line continuation character (:).
- Use only one declaration per line.
- If pretty listing does not format continuation lines, indent continuation lines one tab stop.
- Add at least one blank line between method and property definitions.
ii) Commenting Conventions
- Do not use comments at the end of a line of code. Put comments on a separate line.
- Begin the comment text with an uppercase letter.
- End the comment with a period.
- Insert one space between the comment delimiter (‘) and the comment text.
