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
Orange Event: BRING YOUR CLICKERS TODAY!
Dear all,
As you all know today’s lecture will include the Orange Events for both Javascript (Team Skywalker) and Web Programming (Team Solo).
THERE WILL BE NO SPARE CLICKERS AVAILABLE. IF YOU TURN UP WITHOUT YOUR CLICKER YOU WILL GET ZERO FOR THE EVENT.
Please do not turn up this afternoon, walk up to the lectern before the event, and tell me “my dog ate my clicker”. If you have lost your clicker, you have the entire morning to get a new one. So do so!
If you do get a new clicker, it would be appreciated if you drop me a line to let me know what its number is.
See you this afternoon and good luck!
Paul
Thanks to Dave / Orange Event Monday 5th Dec!
Dear all,
First of all, many thanks to Dave for covering yesterday’s lectures. He tells me that he got a round of applause from both cohorts, so thanks to you too for making him welcome!
I have added the lecture videos from the sessions I delivered last year, so if there are any concepts or points that are unclear after the session yesterday you are strongly encouraged to watch the videos and reinforce what Dave covered. This is particularly important because next week will be the Orange Event for both Javascript and Web/PHP!
Once again, with feeling: the lectures on Monday 5th December will include an Orange Event. You need to be there, or you will miss out on up to 10% of the marks for the module!
Also make sure you are there for Wednesday’s workshops. The practicals will reinforce many of the concepts and principles that were covered in the lecture, and as you work I will go up front and discuss things that arise from people’s work. Attendance will leave you in much better shape for the Orange Event next Monday! Do good work, put in the effort, do some revision, and then go and ace the Orange Event!
All the best and see you on Wednesday.
Paul
