Assignment reviews

A number of students submitted work over the summer. I want to meet each student to go through the submissions.

I believe that I have contacted all the relevant students at this stage. If you submitted something but haven't heard from me, please e-mail me.

In the meantime you should sign up for a meeting slot at

Academic Learning Centre Summer Times

The Learning Support Centre's Summer Programme 2012 will commence on 16th July 2012 and run for four consecutive weeks. Details of the Summer Programme 2012 can be found at the following link: www.cit.ie/learningsupportcentre .   Subject support sessions in Maths, Physics, Programming and Electronics will be delivered during the programme free of charge . Students across all courses who are required to sit the Autumn Repeat Exams in the subject areas above are welcome to attend. Students will be notified in due course via email following the exam results processing.   I would also like to inform you that the Learning Support Centre will be renamed the Academic Learning Centre over the summer. This new name was agreed and confirmed with the Learning Resources Committee, the Department of Mathematics and the Academic Council. The email address and website address will change to academiclearning@cit.ie and www.cit.ie/academiclearningcentre respectively. However both the existing addresses and new addresses will co-exist for a while.      

SOFT6007& SOFT6008 Feedback

In the course of correcting submissions for SOFT6007 and SOFT6008 I made some notes. These were primarily notes for myself and the other internal examiners, however they may also provide some useful feedback. I have copied these files to the dropbox students shared with me earlier in the semester. The notes will probably give students some idea why you got the mark you did, when you eventually get your results. I would advise against trying to divine your mark from the notes as the marking is an ongoing process and is not a done deal yet by any means. However the notes do represent the premises on which the mark will be based.

I have also copied to the dropbox each audio recording I made when we met (if I have it).

My copies of the recordings will be deleted soon after the deadline for appeals has passed, except in the case of students who appeal. For students who appeal the recordings will form part of the assessment material. But they too will be deleted in due course.

I have severed the link between my dropbox and the students'.

SOFT7001 Autumn Repeats

Every student I have met who needs to repeat this module has expressed an interest in getting it done and dusted before the summer break.

The specification is largely the same, but students must make a new site. Fixing the old one is not enough.

Make sure you are registered for the repeat. The spec is over there --->
under pages.

I'm happy to look at drafts and give feedback.

Teaching Naked Discussion

I hosted a discussion on Teaching Naked & the Inverted Classroom this morning. Everyone who attended was very keen on the idea, but they thought that CIT students would find it very hard to take on the degree of responsibility required.

CMOD6001 YouTube Videos Deleted

The YouTube videos of the presentations make in semester 1 were deleted today.

SOFT6007 ITS1/DCOM1 Class 32 DCOM1 Lab

Some students used the time to finish up their assignments.

I used some of the time to meet with students. Double-jobbing I know, but I'm keen to make progress.

This was the last class of the module. I am always disappointed by the way in which all that hard work doesn't culminate in some sort of momentous event, and merely fizzles out. Modules should end with a bang, not a whimper.

SOFT6007 COM1 Class 32 Lab A

Some students handed up by 1600.

My machine's battery was low so I had to go back to my office.

I copied over the dropbox at 1700.

If you submitted by 1600 but did work before 1700, and want me to use the dropbox version instead let me know.

SOFT6007 COM1 Class 32 Lab B

Poor turnout. Some students handed up in person.

I'll take the rest from the dropbox at 1700.

SOFT6007 COM1 Submissions

I had to return my machine to its power supply. If you'd like to submit in person please come to my office in C123c.

Otherwise I will copy over the files from the dropboxes at 1700. Please leave enough time for syncrhonization.

SOFT6007 No classes next week

I will be using class time next week to meet with students to review their assignment submissions. So we won't be having classes.

It's been a pleasure doing business with you.

Good luck with your other assessments and exams

SOFT6007 No Class Tomorrow

There will be no lecture this Friday at 0900
