Dear all,

Most of you should know that there is an upcoming Orange Event for the Java unit tomorrow (Wednesday 10th February) during the usual lecture. I am dependent on South West Trains tomorrow so I will say that the official start will be 9:15. The odd 15 minutes is to cover you (and me) for transport difficulties, so it does not mean “you can wander in some time before lunch”, it means “aim to be there at 9am for a 9:15 start”.

We will start with a brief discussion of the mid-module feedback before going into the Orange Event.

The usual rules will apply:

• Once the test starts we will not be able to admit latecomers.
• You may use handwritten notes on the day (or printouts) but no phones, laptops, tablets/iPads or any digital devices.

Good luck in that, everyone!

Meanwhile, we will be running a Codebash all day next Monday 15th February. This will take place in SB2022/3 and will run from 9am-5pm. This will be a good opportunity for you to grab any outstanding medals. If you needed any convincing to attend, here it is:

During the Codebash, if you want to go back and pick up medals for previous units (other than Java) then these points WILL count towards your module total! So, if you didn’t do so well on TLAP, JavaScript or the Web unit, this is your chance to go back and make up for it!

Finally, the deadline for the Java unit is 5pm on Friday 19th February. After that we’ll be going on to the final unit.

All the best,

Paul
