Computing Ethics Class canceled this Wednesday

There's no Computing Ethics class on Wed 06 April because the class clashes with a meeting of the Academic Council.

Ken Robinson on Changing Education Paradigms

SOFT6008 Class 39

e used this lecture hour as a lab.

SOFT6008 Class 37 & 38 Lab B

Students worked away on the assignments. I get the feeling that people are a bit tried of JavaScript. That is understandable. But if you work hard for the next week or so you can get it done and dusted and out of the way.

SOFT6008 Class 37 & 38 Lab A

There were only 7 students in class. 3 were working on Assignment 2 and 4 still working on Assignment 1.

Computing Ethics Class 27

As expected, there were no additional presentations today.

SOFT6008 Class 36

We used a few minutes at the start of class to take up submissions for Assignment 1.

I explained how the late penalty is applied at CIT and asked that students who want to avail of the late option e-mail me to let me know. Any student who has not yet met the minimum requirements would probably get more marks for a late submission that works, than for an on-time one that doesn't work.

Students who may have accidentally handed up code that was not entirely their own may retract all or any parts of their submission by sending me an e-mail. This offer will have expired a few days time.

We looked at the canvas in HTML5.

[Friday 25 March]

We continued our look at intellectual property.

SOFT6008 Class 32 - ASSIGNMENT 2

We looked at form validation and submission.

The example we looked at in class forms the basis of Assignment 2.

Assignment 2 is due at noon 04 May 2011. It should be e-mailed or hand delivered to Colin before then.

Computing Ethics Class 23

We had class outside in the sun and it wasn't practical to make a recording.

We sorted out deadlines for the final paper.

Students talked though their plans for the presentation next week. Some students need to think a bit more and develop their ideas further.

The student presentations will start next week and will proceed in this order:
Mark, Caroline, Ben, Sean, Lawrence
Liam, Janet, Deana, Peter

All students must attend all presentations.

The deadline for the final paper is noon 03 May 2011. Papers must be submitted to turnitin.com. Students may submit a draft for feedback up to noon on 12 April.

The codes required for login to turnitin will be e-mailed to students.

We discussed data protection and students outlined data protection cases they found  interesting from the cases on the data protection commissioner's website. Students should write this up by Friday for the Week 06 blog entry. Students that were not in class today to discuss their chosen case are not eligible for marks for the Week 06 blog entry.
