We looked at the trademark registration process.

After a lot of work we eventually figured out how student can read their peer reviews. The Turnitin UX people should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

COMP6032 Lab 07A

I showed students who to record a narration in PowerPoint.  However I couldn't get it to play back correctly on the machine I was using.

I asked student to give it a try today or to try at home.

Since they have an exam today for another module they were more interested in studying for that. That's fine too.
