Unit Learning
Outcomes
This assessment task maps to the following ULOs:
ULO1: modify and expand short object-oriented programs that use
standard control structures
ULO2: design, implement, test, and debug simple programs in an objectoriented programming language
ULO4: analyse and determine appropriate data structures and iteration
methods to support a solution.
Rationale
No matter what field of IT you go into when you graduate from university, the ability to develop
software in an object-oriented programming language is an important skill to have. This may seem
obvious for students planning on a career in software development. However, it's also important for
those students pursuing careers in fields like networking, cyber security, and data analysis. For
networking, the ability to develop programs simplifies tasks such as device configuration and
network analysis. In cybersecurity, it's used to develop programs for penetration testing,
vulnerability scans, and automation of security incident responses. For data analysis, programming
enables efficient data manipulation and analysis, making it an indispensable tool for extracting
insights from large datasets.
Task Description
In this assignment, you will start to master a very important component of software development –
classes and objects. The assignment contains three programming parts as follows:
• In part one you will modify and expand an existing program that requires one class.
• In part two you will modify and expand an existing object-oriented program that requires a
minimum of two classes.
• In part three you will design and implement a simple object-oriented program that requires
a minimum of three classes.
This assignment also requires you to create a video explaining why you completed the assignment
the way you did.
You can use PyCharm or VSCode to complete the assignment and your assignment must run using
Python 3. This is covered in the Getting Started section of MySCU.

Assessment Brief
However, when submitting your assignment:
• Given that your marker may be using a different IDE, you are only required to submit your
Python files and not your project files.
• You are also required to use an industry standard plugin in your IDE called WakaTime and
submit a screenshot of your WakaTime dashboard when submitting your assignment.
Both above points are covered in the submission instruction video associated with this
assignment. You can find this video in Task 1 folder under the Assessment Task and Submission
section. Please DO NOT start the assignment without watching the video.
Task Instructions
Part 1 – Simple class
This part of the assignment assesses:
• ULO1: modify and expand short object-oriented programs that use standard control structures.
In the final assignment of Programming I, you were provided with the following code that reads a csv file:
1. import csv
2.
3. with open("student_folder/playerCustomisation.csv", "r") as input_file:
4. reader = csv.reader(input_file)
5. for row in reader:
6. print(row)
7.
Your player number was based on the last digit of your student id. For example:
• A student with a student id 213678** will be customising the game for Player 0
• A student with a student id 21370098 will be customising the game for Player 8
Based on your assigned player number (rows 0-9 in the file) you were required to read that row from
the file and assign the width and height, number of monsters and walls, as well as the player’s
animal and sound to variables. You then had to create a video and discuss and explain how to use a
class to store the data.
In this assignment, you will create and use that class to store the data. You are required to:
• Design a simple class that is suitable for storing the data associated with your assigned
player in the file. The file is available in Task 1 folder under the Assessment Task and
Submission section.
• Update the code provided above that reads the file. Instead of storing the values associated
with your player number in variables, you must create an instance of the class and use it to
store the data associated with your assigned player in the file.
• Output the object’s attributes formatted for readability.
You should have a good idea on how you will implement the class for this part of the assessment
based on the video you made in Programming 1. While designing the class, think about the
following:
• What attributes should this class have?
• Does it require any methods?
• How can you secure and validate the data in the class?

Assessment Brief
Part 2 – Shopping cart system
This part of the assignment assesses:
• ULO1: modify and expand short object-oriented programs that use standard control
structures.
• ULO4: analyse and determine appropriate data structures and iteration methods to support
a solution.
All online shops require a shopping cart system where users can add items, remove items, and view
their cart contents.
Imagine that another programmer has started writing the code to implement a shopping cart
system. However, they are unable to finish, and you must complete the program. You have been
provided with the following Product class.
1. class Product:
2. def __init__(self, product_id, name, description, price):
3. """
4. Initialize a new Product instance.
5.
6. :param product_id: Unique identifier for the product (int or str)
7. :param name: Name of the product (str)
8. :param description: Description of the product (str)
9. :param price: Price of the product (float or int)
10. """
11. self.product_id = product_id
12. self.name = name
13. self.description = description
14. self.price = price
15.
16. def display_product_info(self):
17. """
18. Display the product's information.
19. """
20. print(f"Product ID: {self.product_id}")
21. print(f"Name: {self.name}")
22. print(f"Description: {self.description}")
23. print(f"Price: ${self.price:.2f}")
24.
You have also been provided with the following class requirements for the program.
Product class
You can make any changes that you think are necessary to the Product class. While doing so,
consider the following questions:
• Are any other attributes required? If so, should they be object attributes or class attributes?
• What other methods would be useful for the product class?
• How can you secure and validate the data in the Product class?
Shopping Cart class
To complete the program, you will need a shopping cart class. The shopping cart class must keep
track of products a user is planning on buying and have the ability to add products, remove products,
and display all of the products in the shopping cart. When programming the shopping cart class
consider the following questions:
• How are you going to store the products the user is planning on buying (you learned the
concepts required for this in Programming 1).
• What attributes should this class have?
4
Assessment Brief
• Does the class require any default parameters?
• What methods should this class have?
• How can you secure and validate the data in the shopping cart class?
Other classes
You are not required to have any other classes in the program. However, if you want to have
additional classes you are more than welcome to do so.
Testing
To complete this part of the assignment you are required to write the code that demonstrates that
you can add a product to the shopping cart, remove the product from the shopping cart, and view
the shopping cart contents.
Hints
You have learned all the skills you require to complete this part of the assessment in:
• Programming 1.
• In module one and the first half of module 2 (up until the section on inheritance)
Make sure that you have completed the final activities of module 1 and module 2 as all of the
concepts required to complete this part of the assessments are demonstrated in the video content
in these sections.
Part 3 – Student management system
This part of the assignment assesses:
• ULO2: design, implement, test, and debug simple programs in an object-oriented
programming language.
• ULO4: analyse and determine appropriate data structures and iteration methods to support
a solution.
Imagine you are part of a team that is writing a student management system for the University. Your
job is to write the component of the student management system that tracks the following:
• Students.
• Units.
• Degrees.
Your program has the following requirements:
• Add students, remove students, and view students in a unit.
• Add units, remove units, and view units in a degree.
Hints
• This part is very similar to Part 2 with one additional class.
• While you should make this program as realistic as possible you do not need to track every
attribute that a student, unit, or degree would have in the real world.
Testing
To complete this part of the assignment you are required to write the code that demonstrates that
you can:
• Add a student to a unit, remove a student from a unit, and view all students in the unit.
• Add a unit to a degree, remove a unit from a degree, and view all units in the degree.

Assessment Brief
Hints
Just like in part 2 of this assignment, make sure that you have completed the final activities of
module 1 and module 2 as all the concepts required to complete this part of the assessments are
demonstrated in the video content in these sections.
Part 4 - Video
You are required to create a video explaining why you completed the assignment the way that you
did. Your video should address each part of the assignment separately i.e. cover part one first, then
part two, then part three. You are not required to explain your code line by line. Rather for each
part of the assessment your video should focus on the following:
• The attributes in each class and why you chose them.
• The methods in each class and what they do.
• Any techniques you've employed to secure and validate your data.
• Any design considerations you made when designing your classes.
• The code you wrote to demonstrate your classes, what it does, and why you wrote it the
way you did.
Resources
Everything that you need to know to complete this assessment was covered in:
• Programming I
• Module 1 and the first half of module 2 (up until the section on inheritance) in programming 2.
Task Submission
As mentioned at the start of this assessment you can use PyCharm or VSCode to complete the
assignment and your assignment must run using Python 3. This is covered in the Getting Started
section of MySCU.
However, when submitting your assignment:
• Given your marker maybe using a different IDE you are only required to submit your Python
files and not your project files.
• You are also required to use an industry standard plugin in your IDE called WakaTime and
submit a screenshot of your WakaTime dashboard when submitting your assignment.
Both above points are covered in the video submission video associated with this assignment.
Please DO NOT start the assignment without watching the video.
The video covers how to submit your Python files, your screenshot of the WakaTIme dashboard,
and your video.
Please note that all submission instructions in this assignment and the submission video must be
followed EXACTLY, including the folder names you are instructed to use. Failure to do so will result in
a requirement to resubmit. The reason for this is as a programmer, you will often work as part of a
team and will be required to follow design documentation. If the design parameters are not followed
precisely, bugs will be introduced into the software when all of the individual components of the
program are assembled.

Assessment Brief
Academic Integrity
Please note the following points:
• Your source code for this assignment will be run through a plagiarism detection system
designed for code that compares all assignments and highlights identical or very similar
submissions. If you are found to have colluded with other students, you will be submitted for
academic integrity. Test submissions generated using GenAI software will also be included in
the source code comparison to pick up those assessments that were programmed using
GenAI.
• If your marker deems your submission suspicious, you may be asked to attend an interview
in your tutorial class to explain your code. You may be submitted for academic integrity if
you cannot explain your code. Possible reasons your submission may be deemed suspicious
could include:
o Using programming concepts not taught in the unit.
o Using programming concepts considered by your marker to be beyond your
programming abilities as demonstrated in the class.
o Submitting code suspected of being generated using GenAI software.
At Southern Cross University, academic integrity means behaving with the values of honesty,
fairness, trustworthiness, courage, responsibility and respect in relation to academic work.
The Southern Cross University Academic Integrity Framework aims to develop a holistic, systematic
and consistent approach to addressing academic integrity across the entire University. For more
information, see: SCU Academic Integrity Framework
NOTE: Academic Integrity breaches include unacceptable use of generative artificial intelligence
(GenAI) tools, the use of GenAI has not been appropriately acknowledged or is beyond the
acceptable limit as defined in the Assessment, poor referencing, not identifying direct quotations
correctly, close paraphrasing, plagiarism, recycling, misrepresentation, collusion, cheating, contract
cheating, fabricating information.
GenAI May Not be Used
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools, such as ChatGPT, may not be used for this assessment task. You
are required to demonstrate that you have developed the unit’s skills and knowledge without the support of
GenAI. If you use GenAI tools in your assessment task, it may result in an academic integrity breach against
you, as described in the Student Academic and Non-Academic Misconduct Rules, Section 3.
