CMOD6001 ITS/ITM Class

I gave a handout on referencing and we went through it.

I talked a bit about the essay resubmissions. Some students were genuinely surprised that the plagiarism flag went up on their papers. That's why copying and pasting is so dangerous. You can sometime forget to reference, or not be clear on what was your own and what was borrowed.

We discussed the game project a bit, but there were very few questions.

There will be presentations during next Monday's lab class. Thursday's class will be used for IUT meetings.

Group Y gave a presentation on Internet Crime but only one student was present.

I emailed on URLs for YouTube videos of the presentations but actually most of this group's ones have yet to be uploaded.

I asked students to check the information on the group list. I've been having a hard time keeping up with changes in group composition. I offered to send around a list of Metropolia students, but everyone seems to be OK. I told students about the feedback available on turnitin. Not everyone is done yet.

I met with the groups for an update on the game

CMOD6001 Essays

I am still working my way through the essays. Since writing is an iterative process, I wanted to give students feedback on their papers. But very few students submitted drafts. I propose to allow students to re-submit their papers so that they can correct any problems I might have identified. The deadline is noon on Wednesday 23 November. Students who don't want to re-submit need not take any action.

26 students got no feedback at all yet. They are all in the second half of the alphabet. I hope to get through those in the next few days.

Students that copied and pasted extensively from the internet got no feedback other than that.

The 10 mark late penalty for submitting in the first week after the deadline will be waived for all students. So students who missed the deadline can still submit, albiet without the benefit of feedback. The 20 mark penalty for submitting in the second week will still apply.

You should be able to see any comments I have on your paper by logging in to turnitin.

I have collected up a lot of the comments so that students can avoid making the same mistakes as others. Some comments are topic specific.

I circulated a list of Metropolia students to anyone who wanted in. Metropolia students had been looking at the group blogs for contact details, but I expect that many have given up by now. Groups need to be formed or not by Wednesday. Students should e-mail me the names of the Metropolia students in their groups by 1700.

CMOD6001 DWEB1 Class

Group WE gave a presentation on Internet Crime. This presentation was interrupted by a student who waiting outside to come in.

Group WB gave a presentation on Cloud Computing. One student was missing from this group. The group's presentation was interrupted by a student arriving late and barging in.

Group WA gave a presentation on Geolocation. Only one student was present from this group. He wasn't very keen to present but I sort of insisted. During this presentation  a student was busy and noisily texting, while another was solving a ribik's cube. This degree of discourtesy is not acceptable.

At the end of class I provide an opportunity to apologize to any student who felt they needed it. Two took the opportunity. Two didn't.

If you submitted your paper before this evening, there is some feedback waiting for you at turnitin.com

It's a pity more students haven't availed of my offer of feedback. Most of the papers I've seen will be much improved second time out.
