Last Chance Saloon Arrangements
Dear all,
(If you have not booked for the Last Chance Saloon you can disregard this message)
The Last Chance Saloon will take place this coming Wednesday (5th April) in SB2022/3.
If you have previously booked with a correctly formatted email, then please take this message as confirmation of your booking. If you have not, you can register on the day, although this may eat into your test time.
PLEASE ARRIVE BEFORE 9:30AM READY FOR A 9:30AM START. NOT 9:45. NOT 10:30. DOORS WILL CLOSE AT 9:30AM. IF YOU ARE LATE YOU WILL *NOT* BE ADMITTED.
IF, HAVING SET OFF PROMPTLY ON THE DAY, CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND YOUR CONTROL MEAN YOU WILL BE LATE (eg. transport problems, traffic, asteroid strikes, etc) PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE 9:30AM. (Everyone has smartphones these days so that should not be a problem!)
Although the event will run under exam conditions this is just so everyone has the proper environment in which to concentrate. Officially, it is not an exam or in-class test. It is considered part of your coursework portfolio and is an alternative to the summative activities we did during lectures that you might have missed.
You will have until a maximum of 1:30PM to answer a series of questions, derived from the Orange Events you missed. You will complete an Excel spreadsheet with your answers.
Good luck all, and I will see you Last Chancers on Wednesday!
All the best,
Paul

Important announcements – Last Orange Event, Deadlines and Submission, and the Last Chance Saloon
Dear all,
There will be a lot of information in this announcement. Please read it carefully, please read it in full. Those who do not may well end up losing marks (maybe ALL their marks!) Anyone who asks questions which have been answered in this announcement will simply be directed to this announcement.
Final Orange Event
The final Orange Event, as announced in class last week, will take place tomorrow Monday 27th March. This will be the last lecture of the year and an opportunity to gain up to 10% for the module. Don’t miss it.
Last chance to do missed Orange Events
For those of you who missed Orange Events throughout the year, there will be one final opportunity to do them in the Programming 1 Last Chance Saloon. This will take place in SB2022/3 on Wednesday 5th April. In order to attend and undertake any missed Orange Events, you must book your place by emailing me beforehand. When you email, be sure to include
- Your name
- Your K number
- The Orange Events that you missed and that you would like to do at the Last Chance Saloon
Any email that does not include these will not constitute a booking for the event and may not receive a reply.
Make sure you email before Monday 3rd April for your booking to be considered.
Final deadline and submission of your work
The final deadline for submission of work remains Friday 31st March at 5pm – i.e. this coming Friday. After that point, you can carry on doing NoobLab exercises but they will not count towards your final mark.
Once you have finished – or at least completed all the NoobLab activities you are able to – you must officially submit your work. If not, then officialdom will consider that you have submitted no coursework for the module, and as this module is 100% coursework, that would be a Bad ThingTM.
To submit your work, you should go to
>>> this link <<<
. It is a plain NoobLab page with two medals, one for ALL the NoobLab activities done throughout the module since last September, one for ALL the Orange slides done in lectures (including Orange Events) since last September. Click both medal links to submit your work. When you have both medals showing you have successfully submitted.
IF YOU DO NOT SUBMIT YOU MAY GET ZERO FOR THE WHOLE MODULE!
Good luck, all! If you have any questions, re-read the above, use your brain, think carefully, and then if there is still anything that is ambiguous, do please email for clarification.
All the best,
Paul
