COMP8035 Week 01 Lab

I spoke about the assessment for the module.

I spoke a bit about using quality sources for research and gave out a list of journals available at CIT that I thought might be useful.

I asked students to
  • select two topics
  • find five articles about each one
  • write a blog post listing them
  • write a short comment on each topic
  • write a short note on each paper

and e-mail me the URL for the blog


We watched Black Mirror: Nosedive and spoke a bit about ratings culture. That would be an interesting topic to research.

The deadline for these tasks is 1800 on Friday 

COMP6032 Lab 01.A

I introduced students to Photoshop.

I asked students to get to grips with layers and how they work.

We looked at how to do a screen capture. I asked students to begin work on a PowerPoint presentation that explains what each of the Tools in the Photoshop Tools Palette does.

COMP6032 Class 01.1

I introduced myself to the class and spoke a bit about the module and the assessments.

The class requested a change of timetable for Group B labs. CIT should be able to accommodate that. I'll get back to you as soon as I know.

Labs will go ahead this week.
