The computing ethics essay should be submitted to turnitin.com
I re-emailed the codes required for login.
The paper should be 2500-3500 words. Anything less than 2000 words would be considered very short.

SOFT6008 Assignment 1 - last chance extension
Hi
Under normal circumstances the 2 week late deadline for Assignment would be 1715 on Thursday 14 April. After this deadline late submissions will have a penalty of -100% applied to them.
I am extending this deadline to noon on Monday 18 April. Work submitted by e-mail by then will have the -20% penalty applied.

Computing Ethics Class 32
Today's class was given over to helping students with their papers. I wanted to have some brainstroming sessions where students could give each other ideas, to talk about the importance of structure, and give tips for constructing an argument.
No one turned up. Oh well.

SOFT6008 Class 40
We used today's class as a lab.
I spent the week trying to think up new and interesting things for us to do in JavaScript and I concluded that we are done.
If students want to experiment with some of the more interesting things we did I am happy to help out. But everyone at CIT seems very tired these days, so I don't think we will do anything new in class. So all subsequent classes will be labs.
I strongly recommend that students get the assignment in before the spring break rather than waiting until the day of the deadline. The break is better used studying for exams.
