COMP6023 Class 05.4
We looked at compression, interpolation, indexed colour and dithering.
After class the class rep told me that some students were concerned because I had flagged blog posts that needed attention, but had not detailed exactly what was wrong with them. In almost all of those cases there problems were errors of spelling or grammar. Blog posts with incorrect spelling and grammar will get low marks. However, it it up to each student check the blog posts for errors. I did that for the first week, so that each student was aware of the kinds of errors he or she was making. But I won't be doing that for subsequent posts. Furthermore, the absence of a comment from me is not an indication that it was perfect.

COMP6023 Classes 05.1 & 05.2
I showed students how to use Photoshop to save images at various quality settings. I explained everything needed for the assignment.
I showed students how to make pages in Blogger.
I mentioned during the lab that anyone using a logarithmic scale instead of a linear one, would want to explain that choice in the report. Otherwise it will come across as a mistake rather than a deliberate choice.

COMP6023 Photoshop
Photoshop can be used for very sophisticated image editing. We will use very few of its features in this class. But it's a great tool to learn if you have the time.
There are lots of tutorials online.
So many that there is even a parody of them.

COMP6023 Blogs
I had a look at the blogs this even and where I noticed something that needed attention, I left a comment. However even if I didn't leave a comment for, you should check your blog post.
A number of students are behind schedule.
The next time I look at the blogs, it will be to assign them a mark.
Some comments I made:
Some comments I made:
- you are a bit behind schedule.
- why does the font change?
- what's the yellow highlighting about?
- See the notes on the blog about the common mistakes
- you may need to fix the dates
- perhaps you could put the movie title in the heading
- does the first paragraph really say anything?
- There's no need to introduce yourself at the start of the post.
- some of the usage here is incorrect. you may need to get a native English speaker to read your posts
- Don't have all the text centered.
- Watch the tense. Are you writing in the past tense or the present

We looked at the schedule for blog posts and I highlighted the importance of correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar. I reminded students that posts with errors would receive low marks.

COMP6023 Class 04.1 & 04.2 Lab B
Students worked on the analysis of the UDRP cases they were given.
I e-mailed the spec for Assignment 2, but that won't mean very much to students just yet. But I did offer to make sure students download the correct images needed to complete it.
I showed students how to add an author in Blogger and asked them to set that up. Next week's blog post will be a guest post that is a review of a place to eat. The marks for the post will go to the owner of the blog. So choose your guest wisely.
