CMOD6001 DWEB Lab A

I gave out DEWEB student handbooks. These have been sitting in my office for a while actualy. Sorry about that. The electives for each semester don't really mean anything and so are best ignored. The choices offered in any one semester are likely to be very different from those listed.

Students met in groups to research and discuss their project topics. Any group taht wanted to change was allowed to chose from the alternatives.

I asked students to record the time, place, and attendance at this meeting on the group blog, and to outline any decisions made.

We looked at the online databases in the CIT library. These are very impressive. Computing students will be priarily interested in the IEEE and ACM databases. There are also some e-books. We had a quick look using some search terms and the selection seemed to be quite good. I asked students to research their presentation topics in the ACM library.

I talked briefly about the IEEE and ACM and recommended that students join. Student membership is very cheap.
