The task for this week is to write the conclusion for the paper and post it to the blog. This should be 300-500 words.

The final paper is due at noon on 12 May 2017.

COMP8035 Class 07.1

After a lot of work we eventually figured out how student can read their peer reviews. The Turnitin UX people should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

I asked students to revisit the structure of their papers and to write the first sentence of each section. Give a lot of thought to those sentences.

COMP8035 Class 06.1

I asked students to

Log into turnitin and read the other papers is had assigned and answer the questions asked.

And on their blogs:

Write a brief note on the peer review process. Do you think it's useful?

Rate the quality of your opening relative to those you read (without going into the details of the others)

Provide a brief summary of a topic other than your own

Week 08 will be the last week of the blog.

Students worked on the deliverables for this week.  I gave more feedback to student who asked for it.

COMP8035 Class 05.1

I gave some general feedback on the essays and some individual feedback.

I talked abut paragraph structure and topic sentences.

This week's task is to write the fist 800 words of the paper. The deadline is Sunday night at 2000.

COMP8035 Class 04.2

I gave students feedback on the outlines for the paper. Some of them need a bit of work.

COMP8035 Class 04

This week's mission is to write 800 words (excluding references) on the chosen research topic and submit it to turnitin.com by Friday at 2000.

I e-mailed the Class ID and enrolment password to the students.

COMP8035 Class 03.1

The students said this was a busy week so we held off on the planned task for his week.

I gave out a hand out on structuring a paper.

I spoke a bit about the importance of having an explicit structure and organising principle.  We discussed each student's paper in turn and speculated on possible structures.

So this week's task is to write an outline for the paper.

It's probably time to commit to a topic one and for all now too.

COMP8035 Class 02.2

I sent some feedback to students by e-mail earlier in the day.

I gave more detailed feedback to students who came to class.  Most of the students present seemed to be sorted for week 2's work.

COMP8035 Class 02.1

I asked students to decide on a topic for the research paper and to

• write a short introduction to the topic
• find 5 sources on the topic
• read the sources
• briefly summarise each source

Students may chose similar topics and the paper may evolve and become more focused over time. A starting point is all that is require for today.

I asked student to read The Promise of Augmented Reality from this week's Economist. It's an excellent example of a report on an emerging technology.
