CMOD6001 ITS/ITM

I asked students to meet in their projects groups and research the topic the group has been assigned. A group may swap to an alternative topic, but that decision must be made very soon.

Groups should check that they know the name and contact details of the IUT student in the group.

I feel like students are taking this work seriously. Well done.

Students met in their groups. I asked each group to research the topic they have been assigned and for each to decide to keep that topic or switch to one of the alternatives.

Today's meeting should be recorded in the group blog with details of the time, place, attendance, and any decisions made.

Some groups wanted to change topic without really understanding the one they had been assigned. In all cases they decided to stick the the assigned one.

CMOD6001 ITS/ITM Group Updates

I have updated the list of groups with the latest information I have. If it's incorrect please let me know.

Since there are as many groups as there are IUT students, there is very limited scope for choice at this stage.

Students without a group blogs are losing marks every week it is not available. Get that sorted right away.

CIT and IUT students should swap Skype ID and (mycit.ie/gmail) addresses so that they can share Google Documents.

We discussed making some changes to the timetable.

CMOD6001 ITS/ITM (Thursday)

Today was Skype day. I connected up with the lecturer in IUT but there were problems with the sound on the student machines at IUT. Still most groups managed to find an IUT student using chat. We might call again next Thurday

SOFT7001 Class 9 canceled

Class canceled again today. Really sorry guys.

This is going to be my third trip to CUH in as many days.

CMOD6001 DNET/DCOM Class

I gave some tips for giving presentations.

We talked a little bit about the CA for this module, but we did not of that yesterday.

CMOD6001 Groups update

Due some late arrivals I have had to reorganize some groups. Group CD has been split into CD and CE. Since CD did not yet have a group blog it seemed to be the best candidate for splitting. I used the lack of a blog to conclude that the group's plans were not very well advanced.

CMOD6001 DNET/DCOM

I asked students to make sure that the group blogs had enough contact information for a potential partner to contact the group. There is no word yet on the Finnish situation.

I asked students to check out the spec for the jobs exercise and to ask if there was anything that needed clarification. I gave out jobs to students who didn't yet have them.

I gave a quick run down of the assessment schedule, or order at least and the weightings.

We discussed the job exercise in detail, outlined what was expected, and how much it was worth.

I explained a bit about electives

Some blog admins stuff. Some students updated their URLs

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.
