SOFT7008 Week 10 Lecture

We went straight to the lab. I explained how TurnItIn works and talked students through how to interpret the headline score.

I tested code for students who were finished (or nearly) and helped with debugging. We wrapped up about 2130 since we had no break.

SOFT7008 Week 09 Lecture

I talked a little bit about the exam and the essays.

I explained hash functions on the board.

We adjourned to the lab at 1830 because getting the code sorted is our main priority now.



In the lab we looked at the PESEL again. If you are being pedantic you need to check the date and month. For simplicity any date that is <32 is good. But the month is more complicated:
If the m2 > 3 and the m1 is odd then it is bad

SOFT7008 Week 09 Videos

Class 17: Security. Hash Functions


This is the last video (unless I get inspired). In subsequent weeks we will recap anything that is unclear, and work in the labs on the assessments.

SOFT7008 Week 08 Lecture

In the lecture we briefly recapped on connecting to a Database. We spent most of the class discussing the assessments.

I showed students how to access the e-Journals on the CIT Library website.  IEEE and ACM are good places to look for authoritative articles.

At 1900-ish we moved to the lab. Students worked on the assignments.

SOFT7008 Week 07 Lecture

I did a quick recap of relational databases, normalization, and SQL. I could tell from everyone's faces that it was news to nobody.

At 1900 we moved to the lab to work on this week's exercise.
