SPECIFICATION OF SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT FOR TERM

1
Review of summative assessment for term 1

Duration of the summative assessment – 80 minutes

Total marks - 40

Type of tasks:
Short answers (SA) – tasks, that require a short answer;
Long answers (LA) – tasks, which require a detailed response.

The structure of the summative assessment

This option consists of 20 tasks, including tasks with brief and detailed answers.

In questions requiring a short answer, the student writes down the answer in the form of a numerical
value, a word or a short sentence.

In questions requiring a detailed answer, the trainee must show the entire sequence of actions in
solving tasks to obtain the maximum score. A task can contain several structural parts / sub-
questions.

Tasks for the Summative Assessment for the 1 term.

1. Explain the term «Artificial Intelligence».

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent
machines that work and react like humans

[2]

2. Discuss about pros and cons outcomes of application AI for application area «Medicine».

3. Give 2 characteristics of augmented reality.

1. It superimposes virtual elements on real images.

2. Augmented Reality allows images to be projected using portable devices such as
smartphones or tablets, and AR glasses.

[2]

4. Indicate the scope for using augmented reality. Give an example.

AR can be used in marketing. AR allows customers to virtually try on products before

buying, giving them a better idea of how the product will look on them and fit them.
Application “Ikea Place” provides to user the virtual image of their building materials.

[2]

5. Briefly explain the difference between declarative and imperative languages.

Imperative programming refers to a programming paradigm where we provide the
computer with step-by-step instructions on how to perform a particular task. By
contrast, declarative programming involves specifying what result we're expecting
from our code.

4

 [2]

6. Write one example of imperative programming language and one example of

declarative programming language.
Imperative language: C++
Declarative language: Prolog

[2]

7. List the 3 characteristics of Expert Systems

They have high-performance levels
They are easy to understand
They are completely reliable

[3]

8. Describe the difference between Artificial Intelligence and Expert systems.

Expert systems represent the most successful demonstration of the capabilities of AI.
[1]

9. A simple logic processing language is used to represent, as a set of facts and rules, the valid
construction of sentences. The set of facts and rules are shown below in clauses labelled 1 to
13.
1. determiner (the).
2. adjective (big).
3. adjective (little).
4. verb (is).
5. verb (climbs).
6. noun (thomas).
7. noun (hill).
8. noun_phrase(X) :- noun(X).
9. noun_phrase(X,Y) :- determiner(X) , noun(Y).
10. noun_phrase(X,Y,Z) :- determiner(X) , adjective(Y) , noun(Z).
11. sentence (A,B,C) :- noun_phrase(A) , verb(B) , noun_phrase(C).
12. sentence (A,B,C,D,E) :- noun_phrase(A) , verb(B) , noun_phrase(C,D,E).
13. sentence (A,B,C,D,E) :- noun_phrase(A,B,C) , verb(D) , noun_phrase(E).

Clause 1 has the meaning ‘the is a determiner’.

Clause 9 has the meaning ‘X followed by Y is a noun_phrase if X is a determiner and Y is a noun’.
Using the given set of facts and rules (1–13) above, give one example of

(a) a fact: determiner(the) [1]

6
 (b) Using the given set of facts and rules (1–13) above, state whether or not the following
sentences are valid.

dias climbs the little hill: valid

the little hill climbs dias: valid [2]

10. There is an expert system structure. Fill in the gaps where the numbers are indicated.

1 User interface
2 Knowledge engineer [2]

11. Describe the term «Lexicon» in computer programming.

A lexicon is a set of terms, called ‘keywords’ or ‘reserved words’ that the compiler is
designed to understand.
Compilers for each language will have different lexicons, containing the keywords used
by that language.

[2]

12. Explain the stage of compilation «Syntax analysis».

Syntax analysis is the second phase of compilation process. It takes tokens as input
and generates a parse tree as output. In syntax analysis phase, the parser checks that
the expression made by the tokens is syntactically correct or not.

[2]

13. A programmer has been asked to write a routine which will calculate a person’s age in years
from the date of birth supplied as a parameter to the routine and today’s date, taken from the
system. The date of birth is supplied in the format dd/mm/yyyy and has already been checked by
the system to be a valid date before it is passed to the routine. No person is expected to be over 120
years old. Suggest suitable values for each of the types of test data, normal, boundary and
7
erroneous, and explain why you have chosen these values.
(a) two values of normal data:
(i) 20.09.2006 (ii) 15.08.2006 [2]
14. Explain the term «Normal data”

Normal (typical) data – things that a user is likely to input into

the program

8
 15. Explain the term «Extreme data».

Boundary (extreme) data – values at the limit of what the program should be able to
handle

[1
16. Give an example of extreme data for checking the age of people. Justify answer
0 can be the example of checking the age of people. Because newborn will be 0
aged. But -1 for example cant be the age. So it will be erroneous data

[2]

17. Give an example of erroneous data for checking the age of people.

-6 [1]

18. Explain the term «Erroneous data».

Test input data that lies outside of the system's expected range (incorrect data)
[2]

19. Define the term "Syntax error". Give an example.

A syntax error occurs when the code was written in violation of grammatical rules. Syntax errors are
small grammatical mistakes, sometimes limited to a single character.
Prnt(“Hello world!”)

[3]

20. A programmer has created an algorithm to reset the contents of an array with ten items back
to zero. This is the algorithm but it contains a logical error.

9
State why the algorithm above contains a logic error.

i=1
REPEAT
Array(i) = 0
i=i+1
UNTIL i = 10
