I spent much of the class talking to the Head of Department about trying to sort things out. Student spend much of the time watching SOFT6007 (yes 7!) online classes.

Hi Guys
I only realised this week that COM2 students were struggling with Interactive Web Development SOFT6008 because all but 2 of them did not ever do Web Development Fundamentals SOFT6007. We changed the semester in which this is delivered and did not head off the problem by requiring them to do it as an elective.
I discussed possible solutions with Jim. The most obvious solution, that they do SOFT6007 now and SOFT6008 later, doesn't work so well because SOFT6008 needs to be done in time for SOFT7008. We might only be postponing the problem until this time next year.
Jim has proposed that I run a slightly slimmed down SOFT6008 and cover the essentials of SOFT6007 at the same time. Students would still be given the credit for SOFT6008, although not all of the learning outcomes would be met. I think that would work. It would, of course, be a once off.
Any thoughts?
