SOFT6001 EV.COM Week 01

Since this was the students' first class at CIT, I talked students through the various features of the module descriptor and explained what they meant. We discussed NFQ, ECTS, learning outcomes, and assessment types.

I briefly outlined how recognition for prior learning (RPL) works. Students interested in applying for RPL for modules should contact phil.oleary@cit.ie. She can talk you through the different options. Students interested in applying for RPL for this module should talk to me first.

Students should check this blog regularly. I will post information, notices, and links to notes. Students should take care to distinguish between the daytime and evening versions of this module. However, information relating to one group may be useful to the other.

After coffee we looked at some problems. In groups students worked on

• how to make a cup of coffee
• how to get the No.5 bus from Patrick St. to CIT
• how to sharpen a pencil

We saw that explaining how to do these things was not easy and we discussed some of the  difficulties


We looked at

• Sequence
• Selection
• Repetition
