COMP7004 Class 01.2

I explained a bit more about the Free Choice module and CIT and answered some questions about it. To take this module students will have to proactively register for it at web4.cit.ie.


Someone asked what kind of topics will students choose an essay title from. I wrote some ideas on the board and students proposed some too.  Students will be able to come up with their own topics (subject to approval) but there will be some pre-approved titles too.  Students might get some ideas from these videos.

We spoke bit about iRobot and why Will Smith hates robots in that movie. We will actually come back to this theme.

We will talk a lot about privacy in his module. I asked students to explain privacy to an imagined exchange student who speaks a language that doesn't have a word for it.
