Dear all,
Next week’s Lecture (or not!)
THERE WILL BE NO LECTURE ON MONDAY 14TH DECEMBER. I did consider running a session devoted to the Team Obi-Wan material but I thought it might perhaps be too specialist an audience. I will run a codebash instead just before Christmas (I’ll talk about that later).
Next week’s workshops
ALL WORKSHOPS WILL BE RUNNING NEXT WEEK. So the Monday 9am-11am and 11am-1pm sessions in SB1025/1026, the Tuesday 9am-11am session in EM0001 and the Friday 11pm-1pm session in SB2022 will all be running. IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED YOUR PRACTICAL WORK YET YOU *MUST* ATTEND AT LEAST ONE OF THEM. FAILURE TO ATTEND WILL HAVE REPERCUSSIONS.
Hand in date for Javascript / Web Apps
As announced in some of the workshop sessions, the hand in date for the current unit (Javascript for Team Skywalker, and Web App for Team Solo) will be 5pm on Wednesday 23rd December. ANY MEDALS WON AFTER THIS POINT WILL NOT COUNT TOWARDS YOUR FINAL MODULE MARK.
Codebash
With all that in mind, and in lieu of next Monday’s lecture, I will be running a codebash (subject to sufficient interest) on Monday 21st December. This will be all day on that day and it will be your last chance to complete your workshop tasks with my support. PLEASE NOTE I WILL NOT BE PROVIDING ANY SUPPORT VIA EMAIL. Between four hours of consultation hours next week, six hours of workshops next week and eight hours of codebash the week after you have 18 hours of support available to you. There is ample opportunity for you to get the work done but you must make the effort to get the support you need. If you’re not willing to get off your backside to make that effort, well, I have little sympathy for you!
IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THIS CODEBASH IT IS IMPORTANT YOU LET ME KNOW. I WILL ONLY RUN IT IF THERE IS SUFFICIENT INTEREST. PLEASE EMAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO ATTEND.
After Christmas
After Christmas we’ll be bidding a fond farewell to the Games students – for you guys, I would just like to say it’s been a pleasure to have you and I hope Ahmed treats you just as well as I have. Keep wearing the funny hats, guys! For you Programming 1 people, you’ll all be coming back together (both Team Solo and Skywalker) for the first five weeks to do Java. Check your timetable for updated details – don’t forget locations and times are subject to change.
I won’t say “have a good Christmas” because I’ll see all of you in the workshops and/or codebash before then, won’t I? 
All the best,
Paul
