SOFT6008 Class 35
(Some) Students continued working with cookies. Assignment 2 will very likely rely heavily on the use of cookies.

SOFT6008 Class 33
Most of the time was taken up with students submitting their assessments.
Any work that wasn't submitted by noon, is now late. A 10% late penalty applies to work submitted in the first week. So students who are late might be wise to take their time and make sure the work is complete.
Any students who got into difficulty and think they would be better off taking the extra time and 10% penalty, are free to do so. Please advise me of your intentions.

SOFT6007 EV COM Registration Issues
By my reconning there are in excess of 40 students taking this class by night.
The registration system is so far only aware of 22. Of those 22 only 10 are actually fully registered.
The registration system in place for evening students is far from perfect. However the semester is nearly over at this stage so if you are not fully registered you would want to get getting that sorted. At some point, quite soon, unregistered students will find that it is simply too late.
Students not registering properly has caused a number of problems. The most tragic is that the number of students taking the module would have justified the module being offered on a second night. This would have afforded students who can't make it on Wednesday a second opportunity to come to class. Another problem is that it is not possible for me to enter marks into the students records system for students who are not registered for a class. Entering student marks in dribs and drabs is very time consuming. This can also cause delays and errors.

SOFT6007 Publishing a Web Site
If you save a file called index.html in the root of your H drive, your folder becomes web accessable. This is a very easy way to publish a website.
The URL for the site will be
http://mcom.cit.ie/students/kcomp_7_y1/R00012345/
where R00012345 is your student number.
Have fun!

SOFT6007 Class 30 A
We looked at CSS.
We looked again at the French Songs CSS exmaple. There's a good bit of CSS in there to decipher.
We took a look at some examples of using CSS to layout a page, that got progressively complex. The final example could be used as a basis for much of Assignment 2.

I asked students to watch this YouTube tutorial on CSS.

Students started work on some CSS pages of their own.
Some students had questions about Assessment 2.
It's worth 40%
You will need forms. If you want to make a start on forms over the Spring Break everything you need can be found here (notes) and here (video)
Some students didn;t do any work at all. I'm not anyone's mammy.

I asked students to watch this YouTube tutorial on CSS. But there was no sound on the machines in the lab. So that didn't work out.
We looked again at the French Songs CSS exmaple. There's a good bit of CSS in there to dechipher.

SOFT6007 EV COM1 Assessment 1
We did an assessment
I am not happy that some students did not take seriously the instructions prohibiting communication. This is very serious. These students should consider themselves to be on Yellow Cards.
The plan to do some work after everyone was done didn't work out.
That puts us a bit behind. Students should watch the videos of the day time classes thta dealt with CSS and check the blog over the break for any updates.
The specification for Assessment is online. But we didn't get to talk about it. Student should try to make a start on it.

Students continued work of the assessments and on cookies.
Students who have finished the assessment this week should get it to me before the break. There is a good chance I would be able to give early feedback. Any deficiencies can be corrected before the deadline.

Students worked on coding pages for the Assessment.
I advised students that they will be expected to meet with me and talk me though their code as part of the assessment process.

We were in C128
Didn't seem to be a whole lot of work going on.
Some students asked about the assignment specification. I should have that very soon.
