SOFT6008 CLASS 36



I went through a suggested solution for the question posed in the exam and outlined how the marks were allocated.

Afterwards (not on recording) we went through the marking scheme for  Assignment 2 and I identified what I considered to be low hanging fruit. I also explained a bit about the HTML5 invalid psuedoclass

SOFT6008 DWEB2 Class 33

Most students seem to be doing fine, but a few are a good bit behind. A few refuse to take my advice. 

I met with everyone once, but there were few questions otherwise.

Attendance was poor. Students (who were there) seem to making progress, but for some it is a bit slow. 

I spent the class debugging and explaining

Students worked on the exercises. Some, but not many, started work on the assignment.

I gave a (rather shabby) class on CSS and outlined how to do a three column layout.

The example I used in class was a bit complicated. The two on the blog are a bit simpler.

Afterwards we discussed Assignment 2.
