SOFT6007 Assessment 1 results

The results of Assessment 1 are now available online. You can find your own result using the last 4 digits of your ID number.

The average mark was 51% (including 4 who didn't sit). The chart above show the distribution of the marks (excluding 4 who didn't sit).

Any mark below 100% for this exam should be cause for disappointment, as it was a good opportunity to get some marks in the bank. Any mark below 70% should be cause for concern.

We also talked a little bit about both assessments. however the spec for Assessment 2 has not been released just yet.

COMP6023 Updates to the Assigment Specifications

I feel the need to modify the assignment specifications in light of events and student concerns.


Google AdSense
Students must attempt to sign up for Google AdWords. Failed attempts must be documented by forward the refusal e-mail or screen shot to Colin. Students who successfully sign up won't get any more marks than those who don't, and will have to settle for huge ad revenues by way of reward.

Public vs. Private
Students who are concerned about their privacy may post an appropriate picture to their profiles in lieu of a picture of themselves.

Students who don't want to post personal information publicly, shouldn't post personal information.

As a last resort students may make their blogs visible only to Colin and the other students in the class. Doing so will not affect their final mark, although it will obviously have an impact on traffic.

Essay Drafts
Seeing as I said students "should" submit drafts, that task is optional. But submitting a draft would be a very good idea.

Deadline
However even when prefaced by a "should" I think it was very clear that not submitting by the deadline will cost marks. The standard CIT late penalties will apply.

Own Work
The work submitted must be the student's own work.

I think that covers everything we discussed up to now. If I do give you an exemption from meeting any of the minimum requirements be sure to insist that I note it here.
