Some of the exercises are intended to help you identify the problems which arise in electronic commerce and suggest some solutions. As part of assessment for this unit, each pair/group are required to undertake a project on web page design and creating a simple business database using MS Access. The details of the project have been set on the Internet Project Page.  

Please note: This is not a technical computing-based course. This unit is not meant to train students to be expert in designing and building web sites but rather get a general understanding of it.
