SOFT6007 ITS1/DCOM1 Class 25

We looked at some more JavaScript. We saw loops, and rollovers, buttons, and getElementById.

There is no more JavaScript required to complete Assessment 2, whether it's an exam or a take-away exercise.

SOFT6008 Assessment 1 Results

The results for assessment 1 are now online. They are sorted by the last 4 digits of ID number. If there's only 3 it's because there's a leading zero.

I was disappointed by the results. They suggest that students are not as on top of things as I thought they were.

SOFT6008 Update to Dropbox

I asked student to work from their dropbox so that I can see their progress. Most student have been doing this. However, from Week 08 this is a requirement and will form part of the assessment.

Please check that I have your dropbox shown below. If I don't there is a problem.

No class today because it's a holiday. But I want to keep the class numbering consistent. So we'll call the next one 23.

We looked at float and position

SOFT6007 COM1 Class 21

We looked at how to do a Three Column layout in CSS.

Someone asked me if we could use a header tag for the header instead of a div. Yes we can. The header tag is new-ish.

SOFT6008 Class 21

We had an in-class exam.

SOFT6007 COM1 Class 20 Lab A

I explained how the float and position properties worked and asked students to play around with them.

Most students weren't that interested because
1. It's not that interesting
2. They had an exam coming up in the next class and just wanted to chill

SOFT6007 FC Class 21




We looked at how to do a three column layout

SOFT76007 COM1 Class 20 Lab B

We looked at float (but not clear) and position. I asked students to experiment with different properties to see how they work.

It was a fairly pointless class really. I should have brought something more interesting to show.
