SOFT6008 COM2.B Class 27

Students worked on the assignment. I'm happy with the progress Inam seeing. Most students are on the right track, but a few are behind schedule. 

SOFT6007 ITM Class 28

Students spent the class watching the recording of the class they missed. That's something that could have been done at home.

Few made any progress on the actual exercise.

SOFT6007 COM2.B Classes 25 & 26

Attendance was poor.

Students worked on the assignment.

SOFT6008 Class 28

We had an exam.

Students should be careful about bringing phones into the exam hall. Under normal circumstances that results in an automatic voiding of the exam, even if the phone is turned off and on the floor. So be careful next time.

Nobody turned up.

So I went and had a lovely coffee instead

Only two students showed up to class.

We looked at Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). I asked students to style the timetables they coded previoulsy.

That horrible hum in  the sound of the project. It was worse in real life than on the recording.

SOFT6008 Class 24

We had a Q&A session. However by 1330 there were no more questions so we finished up. I'm disappointed there weren't more questions.  I don't know if that's a good sign or a bad one.

SOFT6008 DWEB2 Classes 23 & 23

Most students worked on the assignment. Most are making good progress.

Some students concentrated on preparing for next week's exam. That's worthwhile too.

We looked at JavaScript for rollovers and a coin toss game. I asked students to extend the coin toss example to turn it into a slot machine.

code:
rollover
coins


Some images:

SOFT6008 COM2.A Classes 22 & 23

I spent a lot of time helping students with Photoshop.

Some students just concentrated on getting ready for the exam instead of working on the assignment. That's good too.

SOFT6008 Study Tips

The best way to learn to programs is by starting with a problem, and writing code yourself to solve it from scratch. That can be hard work, but it's the only way. Googling other people's solutions is not very useful. It's like trying to lose weight by watching other  people play soccer.

This happened to me this morning. 

SOFT6008 COM2.B CLASS 17 & 18

In the second half of the class I showed off a few Photoshop party tricks.
