CMOD6001 COM class 11

Class canceled. Sorry about the short notice

CMOD6001 COM Lab A

I checked that the groups are all a sorted. Just waiting on 1 or 2 personal and group blogs.

I asked students to check the spec for the jobs exercise.

I asked students to put some contact information on the group blog so that the Finish student will be able to contact the group more easily. I'm not sure yet what's happening with the Finish students.

Since I didn't have any particular task for today's class, students worked on the blogs and job exercise mostly.

CMOD6001 ITM Lab ITS

I asked students to check the spec for the job exercise and to make sure they understood what was expected of them them.

I gave out a list of IUT students. There was some FB stalking.

Because the lab groups changed, we had to spend some time reorganizing he groups.

Students worked on setting up their group blogs. I am still waiting on a number of group blogs

CMOD6001 DWEB Class 10 Lab A

Students check their e-mail and blogs and FB for the first 30 mins. A number of students were quite late.

From 0930 we looked at Google Calendar

CMOD6001 Group Presentation Topics

Groups that form first will get first call on the topics for the presentation. So get moving.

Once you have found your IUT partner e-mail Colin. Obviously the IUT student must agree to be in the group.

We discussed the cascade and specificity. Tricky enough. But it makes sense really.

CMOD6001 ITS/M Lab

I gave out a list of French students. Students spent some time stalking them on Facebook.

We spent some time juggling with groups.

I asked students to check on my blog the specification for the job assignment.

CMOD6001 Groups update

Group K has been dissolved due to lack of attendance, lack of individual blogs, and lack of a group blog. Students who had been assigned to this group are free to join other groups. Other groups are free to accept them or not.

CMOD6001 Procedure for Removing a Student from a Group

If a CIT student

• misses 2 CIT classes or
• misses a meeting or
• does not perform work assigned to them

without a reasonable explanation the remainder of the group present at a meeting may vote by a majority (of 50:50 if the number present is even) to issue them with a yellow card. The student and Colin should be emailed notification of the yellow card and this should be recorded on the group blog.

Once issued a yellow card the student must attend all meetings, all cit classes, and complete all assigned tasks. If they student fails to do so the group may vote to recommend to Colin that the student be removed from the group. The student and Colin should be emailed notification of this decision and it should be recorded on the group blog.

The authority to remove students is not being devolved to students. Only Colin makes the final decision.

I showed students how Google Calendar worked and I asked them to enter their timetables.

SOFT7001 Class 06

We looked at a simple 3-column layout. I asked student to code a simple 3-colum layout of their own from scratch.

We looked at how the BostonGlobe.com adapts its style to page width. This is the kind of thing we would hope to do eventually.

Don't worry! We will be going back to all those tricky selectors.

CMOD6001 ITM/ITS Class 09

Only 15 students showed up so it didn't make sense to put students into their project groups.

I talked briefly about how to have a good brain storming session. Students imagined that they had a paper or presentation to prepare on the topic of illegal music downloads, and they had a brain storming sessions in groups of 5.

CMOD6001 DNET/DCOM Class 08

I pointed out that someone left their dirty coffee cup behind them last week. I asked the students with coffees to put them in the bin. One left, rather than do so. When the other student didn't bin his, I asked him to go too.

I asked students to get into their groups and devise a scheme for dealing with group members who aren't pulling their weight.

Groups should post their proposal to the group blog by the end of the week

Another student arrived with coffee to 0925. When he refused to put it in the bin, I asked him to leave.

CMOD6001 DNET/DCOM Lab

We looked at Google Docs. I started a story, shared it with the class, and we worked on it all at the same time.

I showed students how to set up a group blog.

Elective Choices

Students received an e-mail from the registrar's office requesting them to specify their elective choices. First year student should not have got this. No action is required.
