SOFT6007 Class 16

I gave a pep-talk. Attendance was < 50%, so I was probably talking to the wrong half of the class.

Because some students were having problems in the labs we did a recap. I stressed over and over again that it's all about the structure. The rest is just detail.

From Tuesday next, this module will be taught by Aisling. So good luck and I hope to darken your door again some time next year.

All these are on the CHECKSUMS handout

SOFT6008 Extra lab class added

There is a new 2 hour lab class in C128 on Mondays 0900-1100.

In the first instance students are free to go whichever labs they choose. If that is problematic, I will assign students to groups.
