COMP7004 Computing Ethics

The CRN for this module is 21108.

Students should check their mail in mid January for instructions from the registrar's office on how to register.

SOFT6001 Last Chance for Assessment 3

Any student who missed Assessemnt 3 should immediately contact Colin by e-mail or SMS. I expect there will be an opportunity to sit the assessment some day this week.

SOFT6001 Student Comments

Please feel free to leave comments on the course.

SOFT6001 Week 12

We had an in-class written exam.

I didn't get a chance to properly say goodbye to people. It's been a pleasure working with you. Good luck with your other exams and future plans. I may yet darken your door again, some time in the future.

COMP6021 Tutorials

If any students in this module are interested in having a tutorial, please let me know in advance.

SOFT6001 Extreme Weather

Some students may find it difficult to make it to class for the assessment on Thursday night. Students should not take unnecessary risks in order to make it to the exam.

I plan to offer a further opportunity to sit the assessment some time next week. However, it would be foolish for any student to use this as an opportunity to put off the exam. There is no guarantee that the exam will be on a day or at time that suits you.

So come if you can. Don't come if you can't do so safely.

COMP6021 CA Results

Hi

The results of the Continuous Assessment component of this module are now available. The CA accounts for 20%. The remaining 80% comes from the final exam.

COMP6021 Class 29 (tutorial)

No one turned up

SOFT6001 Week 11

We had a tutorial. A good number of students turned up, but they didn't have a lot of questions.

The exam will be next week. We will start at 1815.

COMP6021 Class 28 (tutorial)

Nobody came.

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 27 (tutorial)

Nobody turned up, so I went away.

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.

CMOD6001 Class 27

Presentations. They were all good.

Afterwards I met with groups. Projects seem to be on track
