SOFT6008 Assessment 1 Results

Assessment 1 did not go as well as I had expected it would. The average mark was 41%

The results are available here. Use the last 4 digits of your ID number to find your result. If your number does not appear, it is because there was some issue. The issue was most likely that you are not registered. I will try to find out on Monday if I can give out results to students who are not yet registered.

[Update: unregistered students' results appear there now too]

If you got a in this assessment then you need to get at least
(400-4a)/6 in assessment 2 to be sure of a pass.

The marking scheme is here

Suggested solution:
function realman (fin)

{
var valid = new Boolean("true");

datepart = fin.substring(0,6);
individualpart = fin.substring(7,10);
bothstring = datepart + individualpart;
bothnumber = parseInt (bothstring, 10);
themod = bothnumber % 31;
checkletter1 = fin.substring(10,11).toUpperCase();
madfinstring = "0123456789ABCDEFHJKLMNPRSTUVWXY";
checkletter2 = madfinstring.charAt(themod);

if (checkletter1 != checkletter2)
    {
    valid = "false";
    }

individualnumber = parseInt(individualpart);
sex = individualnumber %2;
if (sex == 0)
    {
    valid=false;
    }
   


return valid

}

SOFT6008 images clarification

Some clarification about the use of the pizza images is required. A few students emailed me with questions. Students are free to use whatever images they want. I generated those images to save people the trouble. Use of Photoshop is not core to this module.

Whether students use my images or their own images they will get the same marks for that element. Only the JavaScript will be graded.

We had an in-class exam.

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.

SOFT6007 Class 32 DWEB

We saw how to restyle an unordered so that it became a horizontal navigation bar.

COMP6023 Click-fruad video

Interesting video on click-fraud

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
