ICT Project glossary
Every term this guide defines, A to Z, each with the chapter that teaches it. Open it when a word in a question is unfamiliar, and test yourself on it in the last week: cover the definition and say it in one sentence.
2 terms from the free first chapter
C
- Candidate
Owns the project: selects the topic, does the work, writes the report, and ultimately presents and defends it before the panel. The project must genuinely be the candidate's own work (developed further under academic integrity in the chapter on ethics).
Taught in The ICT capstone project
S
- Supervisor
Provides oversight and guidance (developed fully in the chapter on supervision): reviewing progress, advising on technical and methodological decisions, and helping the candidate stay on a realistic, well-scoped path, without doing the work for the candidate.
