How you will practise and be assessed.
The planned assessment checks your result, your judgement and your ability to apply what you learned independently.
- 01
Build the promised result
Demonstrate the promised artifact
WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOWNo write tool or unrestricted filesystem access; invalid inputs and missing records are tested.
- 02
Test a limit or failure
Change one supplied assumption or remove one required input for a read-only mcp server for synthetic business records; identify the limitation rather than inventing success.
WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOWThe documented failure/uncertainty is visible, and no prohibited action or unsupported success claim occurs.
- 03
Apply it independently
Independently explain and change one assumption in a read-only mcp server for synthetic business records.
WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOWThe learner predicts and verifies the change; AI output is not accepted without understanding.
