SOFT6007 Podcast

I have set up a podcast for COM1 and ITS1/DOM1. Students should be able to download notes and lectures using iTunes. Once it's set up all new classes and notes will download automatically. Students who are lucky enough to have iPhone4s or iPads should be able to sych those decides using iTunes and review the classes and notes on their devices.

Poor people like me who have only iPhone3s will have to do some converting.

This podcats will be updated only every one or two weeks because it is very time consuming. Google+ will have the classes first. So if you missed something check there first.

CMOD6001 Good Luck!

On the day of the game demonstrations I didn’t get a proper chance to say goodbye to you all. After so much time and work together it seemed strange for us all to walk off and go about our business.

I was very impressed with the standard of the projects. There was a lot of imagination and enthusiasm in evidence on the day. Thanks for taking the work so seriously and for putting so much effort into it. My phone is old and slow. It would really help me if your group e-mailed me the URLs that your project used. So if someone from your group could do that, it would help me fully appreciate your efforts.

I am still correcting continuous assessment components for the module and I’m confident now that you won’t get any results for this module before you get all your results in the new year. So they will all come together.

Eventually you will be able to see the mark for your essay in turnitin. Once I have them all corrected I will take a second look at them. So marks may appear to go up or down a tiny bit. I’ll e-mail you again once they are done.

There’s no update on the free choice options for next semester. So that’s going to be a bit of a disaster. If you see some thing offered by another department that you are half interested in, take it. You will probably get an e-mail from the registrar’s office about your free choice module some time in the new year.

If you had a Finish team member please send me an e-mail about the extent of his or her involvement, so that I can calculate your bonus marks for that. Unless it is already detailed in the project documentation you handed up. If you had a French team member, that’s all sorted.

DNETs. I recommend you opt for SOFT6007 Web Development Fundamentals or your free choice.

Many of you will be taking SOFT6007 Web Development Fundamentals next semester. If you have time over the break and would like to make a start on that, you can subscribe to this podcast in iTunes. There are a bunch of classes there.

It has been a tough semester for some students. I am very impressed by the extent to which ye supported and looked out for one another.

So good luck with you exams and enjoy the break.

CMOD6001 QR Fest

We met in the student center and group set out their games to be played.

I thought they were good. But I didn't get to play any one in its entirety.

Well done!

CMOD6001 Hand up day was yesterday

A lot of groups handed up their projects yesterday. Students may had up today if they can find me. However if the late penalty is going to apply anyway, it might be best to wait until tomorrow anyway.

We will have no more classes this week

CMOD6001 DWEB1 Class

I talked about "Christmas Day"

Students worked on their projects and I met with some groups. I had some tough words for one group, but it's members are in a hole numerically and their project needs to be very good for them to pass.

CMOD6001 ITS/ITM Class

Group J (Daniele & Allison) gave a presentation on Internet Crime

Group T (Alex & Sean) gave a presentation on Net Neutrality

CMOD6001 Late Papers

The deadline for the papers is noon on Wednesday. Late papers will have the 2 week penalty applied to them. So a paper that might have got 45 if it were on time, would get 25%. If your second draft was half decent, it might be worth more on time, than a better paper is worth late. So if you miss the deadline make sure you make that calculation before submitting.

Once you've missed the deadline there is no rush. So you should probably ask Colin for his opinion of the old paper, before submitting a new one late.

Turnitin overwrites the old paper, so there's no going back.

update: I have changed the settings on turnitin so that students cannot submit after the deadline. Students who have arranged an extension will still be able to submit by contacting Colin. Student will still be permitted to submit late, but only once I am confident they understand the consequences of their choice.

CMOD6001 COM1 Class

Questions about turnitin.

Some questions about presentation results.
