COMP7004 Class 05.1

details to follow

COMP7002 UI Week 05 Lab A

Students worked on the mock up for the assignment. Many students did not develop on paper. Mock ups are done on paper because they encourage you to experiment and to thrown away what you have and start again. A lot of students boxed themselves in by not using paper.

Students worked very hard today. Well done. It's not easy.

I asked class to discuss the CyberEthics new or old question in groups for 5 mins.

I asked students to install download Kahoot app and we gave it a go.

Discussion question: How do we know what is wrong and what is right?

Aside: It is not possible to discuss something in a group, by yourself.  This module will be much more enjoyable if you buy into its premises and go along with it.

COMP7002 UI Class 02.2

We looked at the four different ways to handle events.

We looked at the sample code AddSubtract1, AddSubtract2, AddSubtract3, AddSubtract4, AddSubtract5

I misjudged the time it would take to get through that so we finished up at 1035.

COMP7004 CyberEthics Class 02.1

What is CyberEthics? The big question we tried to answer was Is CyberEthics just a subset of general ethics or is it something distinct and worth of separate study?
