SOFT6013 Week 11

Students worked on their submissions for the portfolio.

I spoke a bit about parameters. I got the feeling last week that people weren't clear on who they work so we spent an hour on so try to get that sorted.

I met with students individually so see what they were working on and how much progress they were making.

COMP7004 Class 11.2

We discussed Privacy and how it is not especially intrinsically valuable, but is essential for other things such as democracy, friendship, love.

The class turned out to be more interesting that I was expecting.

COMP7002 Class 11.2

I wasn't feeling well this morning. So I cancelled class.  Since nobody came to yesterday's class, I didn't think anyone would very much mind.

I do plan to have class next week. And I will, of course, see you in the labs.

COMP7004 Class 11.1

I gave out some handouts to help with the essay. I talked about the structure for the essay and we discussed passible approaches to take for some of the topics.

COMP7002 A.UI Class 11.1

This class was on animation using JavaFX. But nobody turned up. That's fine. It doesn't contribute anything to the assignment and I trust students to manage their time as they see fit.

I will turn up again tomorrow and do it then if anyone wants it.

We had an in-class exam.

Some students stayed afterwards to discuss the assignments, but most left as soon as they could.

I advised students not to leave before organising groups for the assignments. If anyone is groupless please e-mail me and I will try to do some match-making.
