SOFT7001 Class

Some students are still working on the assignment. Remember to get the URL in on time. There's nothing stopping you from updating the site in the meantime.

CMOD6001 Hand up day was yesterday

A lot of groups handed up their projects yesterday. Students may had up today if they can find me. However if the late penalty is going to apply anyway, it might be best to wait until tomorrow anyway.

We will have no more classes this week

CMOD6001 COM Class

Some students used the time to hold meetings. I answered some questions. Quiet enough.

CMOD6001 COM Lab

Students were very busy working on the project.

CMOD6001 ITS/ITM

Students were just chilin' and playing games, so I left them at it.

CMOD6001 DWEB Lab

Quiet morning. Most students worked on stuff for other modules.

SOFT7001 Class

Students worked away on their websites.

We learned that if you don't explicitly use the media="screen" when using media="print", the print style sheet will interact with the regular style sheet and you might get things you weren't expecting.

CMOD6001 ITS/M Lab

Students worked away on their projects

CMOD6001 DWEB1 Lab B

Students worked on the project

CMOD6001 COM1

Students worked away on the project. Good turn out.

CIT has no power today

CIT has no power for parts of today so some services you are used to having might not be available. Access to some of your cloud based services require authentication from a CIT based server, so that might cause problems for you also.

I have no CIT e-mail today

CMOD6001 ITS/ITM

Group V gave a presentation

Some students spoke with their IUT group members afterwards

SOFT7001 Class canceled this afternoon

I'm not feeling great so I'm going to head home early today. But if you are stuck for something please e-mail me before 1430.

CMOD6001 DNET/DCOM

One group went next door to record some video.

Others groups met to work on the projects.

CMOD6001 DNET/DCOM

Students seemed to be very busy plotting away. I look forward to seeing the finished works.

CMOD6001 DWEB1 Class

I talked about "Christmas Day"

Students worked on their projects and I met with some groups. I had some tough words for one group, but it's members are in a hole numerically and their project needs to be very good for them to pass.

CMOD6001 ITS/ITM Class

Group J (Daniele & Allison) gave a presentation on Internet Crime

Group T (Alex & Sean) gave a presentation on Net Neutrality

Anonymous comments disabled

I have disabled anonymous comments for this blog. I had believed that allowing students to post anonymously would allow for a free-er exchange of ideas, but that turned out not to be the case. I was very disappointed with the tone and character of the comments that were left. I think I may have done students a disservice. In publishing the comments I may have given the impression that that kind of behaviour is acceptable.

Comments can still be added to any post, but the poster will have to log in. Of course fake gmail addresses remain an option.

CMOD6001 Late Papers

The deadline for the papers is noon on Wednesday. Late papers will have the 2 week penalty applied to them. So a paper that might have got 45 if it were on time, would get 25%. If your second draft was half decent, it might be worth more on time, than a better paper is worth late. So if you miss the deadline make sure you make that calculation before submitting.

Once you've missed the deadline there is no rush. So you should probably ask Colin for his opinion of the old paper, before submitting a new one late.

Turnitin overwrites the old paper, so there's no going back.

update: I have changed the settings on turnitin so that students cannot submit after the deadline. Students who have arranged an extension will still be able to submit by contacting Colin. Student will still be permitted to submit late, but only once I am confident they understand the consequences of their choice.
