SOFT6007 CA1 Results
The results of the first assessment are now available online. The last 4 digits of the student ID number provides an index in to the result.
40% was for the nested list and 60% for the image map.
This assessment was worth 20% overall.
I was disappointed by these results. It suggests that students are too used to working in copy & paste mode and are not keeping enough information in their heads. The student solutions for the nested list suggest that students do not fully grasp the structure of HTML documents.

SOFT6008 25
We discussed the specification for UCLOO.
UCLOO
Player starts with 100 CIT Pesos.
Player bets a stake on the oucome of 2 random cards.
A pair (e.g. Ace of Hearts and Ace of Spades) pays 3 times the stake. (e.g. player has 80 pesos. bets 10 pesos. wins. gets 30 pesos back. Now player has 100 pesos.)
A perfect pair (e.g. King of Spades and King of Spades) pays 12 times the stake.
There are 4 suits. You can use Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs or Southern European suits or you can be creative.
There are 3 cards per suit (Jack, Queen, King, for exmaple).
That means there are only 12 different cards in total.

I missed the latest timetable change, and so turned up to class one hour late. Sorry about that guys. We're not having a great week.
Watch the timetable next week. Because I was told it was moving back again.

Only three students in class today. They worked on the various JavaScript exercises.
The cookies exercise really needs to be done in the stages I outlined. Otherwise your head will explode.

SOFT6007-EVCOM 06
We looked how an image can be sliced and put back together in a table to make a navigation bar. Students make their own, using either an image of their choice or the hand image to slice. Or use an image of your own.
We saw how to upload a webpage with images to a hosting service so that the rest of the world can see it. index.html. case sensitive!!!!
Some students who were catching up worked on imagemaps. That was unfortunate because some students got confused between slicing and imagemaps. That was my fault. I must make that clearer in future.
There will be an in-class assessment next Monday.
