COP6023 Class 31

We looked at Google Analytics and discusses how it can be useful to a business or publisher

COMP6023 Class 29 & 30

Students worked on their assignments (Assignment 2 mostly)

I met with each student to get a progress update on Assignments 2 & 3

I extended the deadline for the first draft of Assignment 3 to this weekend.  Students can also publish rough cuts of Assignment 2 and get some feedback. The pages interface in blogger is limited, so it takes some getting used to. Content Management Systems (CMSs) don't generally give authours the same flexibility that they might have in a word processor.

SOFT6008 Pizza Images

Someone was moaning about having to use Photoshop so I have made some images for students to use. They are not great, but they'll do the job.

I have reduced the marks going for this by a small amount to reflect the now reduced workload.

The images are derived from images by rusvaplauke and Latente

SOFT6008 Assessment 1 Format

Assessment 1 will comprise a description of an ID number and a checksum calculation. Students will be asked to write a JavaScript function based on the ID number. No HTML nor interaction with the DOM will be required for the exam.

SOFT6007 Assessment 1 results

The results of Assessment 1 are now available online. You can find your own result using the last 4 digits of your ID number.

The average mark was 51% (including 4 who didn't sit). The chart above show the distribution of the marks (excluding 4 who didn't sit).

Any mark below 100% for this exam should be cause for disappointment, as it was a good opportunity to get some marks in the bank. Any mark below 70% should be cause for concern.

We looked at the Mr. Spud Head examples. A variation of these could be used to display selected pizza toppings in Assignment 2.
