CMOD6001 Class 29
We had the world premieres of the lip dub videos. I was impressed.
This was our last class.
Good luck with your exams. I will see you all again soon, depending on which modules you are taking.

CMOD6001 Class 28
Some students met groups to make some decisions about their videos. I didn't want to see the videos, because I want to be surprised tomorrow.

COMP6021 Class 26
We had a whistle stop tour of some of the topics we should have discussed in more detail but didn't. So at least now there are no "unknown unknows", just "known unknows".
All subsequent classes will be tutorials. So bring questions.

CMOD6001 Presentation Names
Could someone from each group e-mail me the names of the students in their group. I just want to make sure I have everything correct.
If you missed any one of the two days you should e-mail Colin explanation. Failure to do so will cost both you and your group marks.

Presentations. They were all good.
Afterwards I met with groups. Projects seem to be on track

COMP6021 Class Canceled
This afternoon's class is canceled. I feel like crap and I'm going home to bed. There is only so much caffeine and paracetamol you can down, before you have to eventually admit defeat.

ITS / ITM APS CA Results
CA results for ITS/ITM SOFT6001 Algorithmic Problem Solving are here:
2010-SOFT6001-ITS3.pdf
Some students have almost passed already and so do not need to score well in the final exam. Others need more than a pass in the final to pass over all.
The column NEEDS specifies what students need to score in the final assessment to be sure of a pass mark.

COMP6021 Class 25
We looked at block matching algorithms for motion compensated video compression. Mostly because I know all about it and think it's cool. Now 10 more people know all about it, but the number of people who think it's cool is unchanged.
We probably will discuss only a few more things in the next class. The rest of classes will be given over to tutorials.

SOFT6001 Withdrawals
Some students have done a runner. This is fine.
If you do a runner though, make sure to formally withdraw from the module. If you do not withdraw then CIT will, quite rightly, want its money. And should you want to stay on at CIT, you will, quite rightly, be expected to pay up before progressing.
So it makes sense to do the paperwork.

CMOD6001 Class 25
We were supposed to have presentations today but the group wasn't ready.
We might fit them in another day.
Students had ad hoc group meetings and the class rep got some SU related issues sorted.

COMP6021 JPEG Compression Ratios
You can see the effects of JPEG compression by saving this TV test pattern at various quality settings. Pay particular to the line patterns and the edges. You'll need to convert it to RGB mode after opening.
