This course material will provide you an in-depth knowledge you will need in order to complete the course. The code for this course is CIT 462 and the course title is Web Server Technology. It is a two - credit unit course for students studying towards acquiring a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and other related disciplines. The course is divided into 4 modules and 11 study units. It will first present a brief review of the concepts of web server technology and then deal with the different stages involved in developing good and functional skills of web server technology applications. The course went further to introduce you to different ways of using different languages to develop good web server applications.

In this file, you will find all the details of the work you must submit to your tutor for marking. The marks you obtain for these assignments will count towards the final mark for the course. Altogether, there are 15 tutor-marked assignments for this course. ASSESSMENT There are two aspects to the assessment of this course. First, there are tutor- marked assignments; and second, the written examination. Therefore, you are expected to take note of the facts, information and problem solving gathered during the course. The tutor- marked assignments must be submitted to your tutor for formal assessment, in accordance to the deadline given. The work submitted will count for 30% of your total course mark. At the end of the course, you will need to sit for a final written examination called pen-on-paper (POP). This examination will account for 70% of your total score. TUTOR- MARKED ASSIGNMENTS (TMAs) There are four tutor-marked assignments (TMAs) called TMA 1, TMA 2, TMA 3 and TMA 4 as a (CBT) computer- based test in this course. They will be available on your portal as at when due and so you should be conversant with your portal. They must be submitted to your tutor for formal assessment, in accordance to the deadline given. Each TMA carries 10 marks and the best three TMA scores out of the four submitted will be selected and count for you. This means that the TMA’s submitted will count for 30% of your total course mark. FINAL EXAMINATION AND GRADING The final examination for CIT 462 will last for a period of 2 hours and have a value of 70% of the total course grade. The examination will consist of questions which reflect the self-assessment exercise and tutor-marked assignments that you have previously encountered. Furthermore, all areas 126 CIT 462 WEB SERVER TECHNOLOGY of the course will be examined. It would be better to use the time between finishing the last unit and sitting for the examination, to revise the entire course. You might find it useful to review your TMAs and comment on them before the examination. The final examination covers information from all parts of the course. PRESENTATION SCHEDULE The presentation schedule included in this Course Guide provides you with important dates for completion of each tutor-marked assignment. You should therefore endeavour to meet the deadlines. COURSE MARKING SCHEME The following table shows the course marking scheme: COURSE MARKING SCHEME Assessment Marks Tutor-Marked 4 Assignments with 20 questions each, 30% Assignments (TMAs) for the Best 3TMAs Total = 10% X 3 = 30% Final Examination 70% of overall course marks Total 100% of course mark COURSE OVERVIEW This table indicates the units, the number of weeks required to complete them and the assignments.
