Improvements to JPEG Compression

COMP6023 Repeat

The Web Publishing repeat is by continuous assessment. There is no exam. By now you should have received the assignment specifications by email. If you did not please email your lecturer (Colin & Irene). 

Students may use the same blog as before, but should check the list online to make sure the lecturer has it.

Students may use the same images as before. So there is no need to redo the experiments provided they were done properly in the first place.

Students may use the same essay title as before or may choose another from the list. It's worth considering a change of topic. 

If you have any questions or problems please email Irene or Colin

Good Luck

COMP6023 Assignment 2

A number of students did not submit the image compression assignment for COMP6023 Web Publishing.  It is possible that some of these students completed the bulk of the work required for the assignment, but because they did not complete the process the work was not visible to the lecturers.  Since the lecturers couldn’t correct the assignment these students for no marks for it.

Please visit your blog by typing in the URL into the address bar and check to see that your Assignment 2 is visible from the home page.  If it is not visible, you should log into Blogger and  correct this.  You can find detailed instructions on how to do this here:http://youtu.be/6kb73odotYA

Once you have made the pages visible, please e-mail your lecturer (Colin or Irene) to let him or her  know.  You should do this beforenoon on Sunday 22 June.  However the sooner you do this the sooner we can get back to you.

In order to be fair to all students, any student who published Assignment 2 as blog Posts instead of Pages may also correct this problem.

COMP6021 Final Exam

The final exam was today at 1000.

Students will have their results when they are all published together. I don't plan to publish the results of the CA component in the meantime.

I hope you all enjoyed the module. It was a bit of a stretch for some of you. But trying new things is always a good idea. It's been a pleasure doing business with you.

Good luck with your future plans.

COMP6023 Submission Issues

The deadline for Assignment 2 and Assignment 3 were today.

If you did not have Assignment 2 (GIF & JPEG experiments) completed by today it will be marked as late. However, it will only be marked if you e-mail me to advise me that you have posted it online.

If you did not submit your Assignment 3 (Essay) to Turnitin.com before the deadline today it will be marked as late. To submit it please send 2 e-mails to me. The first e-mail should have the essay as an attachment. The second email should be sent at the same time and should state that the first e-mail was just sent. [If the CIT firewall does not like the attachment it will kill the entire message, and will advise neither the sender nor the recipient.]

If you submitted work that was not entirely your own, you may withdraw your submission for all of any of either Assignments 1, 2, or 3 up to noon on Friday 9 May, by sending me an e-mail.

Last class of the year

That concludes our business. It's been a pleasure doing business with you all.
