COMP6023 Lab 07 DNET

I met with students to discuss how the assigments are going.

I asked students who will be submitting essays to sign-up for the class on TurnItIn.com

COMP6023 Assignment Spec updated

I have made minor changes to the spec that dealt with the instructions for how to get your Assignment 2 images. So it's less confusing now.

The spec is up to Version 4 now. So if you are working from an older one it might be worth a look. But there have been no substantial changes.

Students submitting as essay for Assignment 3 should register with turnitin.com

COMP6023 Class 11 ITS

I forgot to go to class. I was busy correcting and just plain forgot.

COMP6023 Feedback - How am I driving?

We are at roughly the half-way point of the semester. I would be interested in getting student feedback on the module. I will open the comments on this blog to anonymous comments for a few days. That hasn't gone well in the past, but I will give it another go.

Comments don't have to be anonymous. But if you want to leave a comment anonymously make sure you are logged out of Google before you submit it. Comments will be moderated, but I hope to publish all of them.

Try to make the distinction between the module, the delivery of it,  the assessment of it, and the lecturer.  Students often merge all of these concepts.

So any comments, suggestions, or recommendations you might have are welcome. Just leave a comment on this post.

COMP6023 Lab 06 ITM

I met with groups to discuss the GOMC and I met with students doing essays to discuss their plans.

Please identify the week of your blog post

When posting please identify the week about which you are posting. That makes it much easier for me to award the marks you are due. It also allows for the possibility of my being  slightly flexible with the deadline.

Also please the format of the dates so that it says the date of the post, rather than "2 days ago" for example.

COMP6023 Class 11 DWEB/ITM

We moved the class to C128 so I could talk students through the Photoshop needed to complete Assignment 2. It was a bit crowded, but any students that wanted to stay and work after I was done talking were able to find machines. Most students stayed for a second hour, to get more of it done.

Attendance was sparse but that's not surprising since I had a meeting for the first hour. And those who stayed were't especially well rewarded because we didn't do anything in particular.

I worked with some students on their GOMC campaign.
