JavaScript Workshop 4 (TEAM SOLO)

The fourth workshop for the Javascript unit is now available.

Follow this link to log in and do the workshop.

Final Orange Event, final hand-in date, final codebash, and “Last Chance Saloon” for missed Orange Events

Dear all,

(The below message has been edited on 3rd April at 7:25 to reflect changes in the schedule. These changes were made due to popular demand.)

The final Orange event will take place during the lecture in last week of term on Monday 11th April. Please ensure you are there!

There will be no lecture on the first week back after Easter (Monday 4th April PM) but we will run the workshops in the morning that day, although the 9am workshop will start slightly later at around 9:30am.

Naturally everyone attends all lectures and workshops, so this should not come as a surprise to anyone, but I also wanted to remind you all that the final date for completing ALL NoobLab activities is FRIDAY 22nd APRIL @ 5pm. You will still be able to access NoobLab after this date but any medals earned beyond that point will not count towards your final module total.

Once again, with feeling:

THE DEADLINE FOR ALL PROGRAMMING 1 ACTIVITIES IS FRIDAY 22ND APRIL AT 5PM.

Remember that I am accepting submissions for “legacy” medals. So you are free to go back and complete missing activities from previous units, if you need to.

To help you get over the finish line I have arranged two events:

THURSDAY 21ST APRIL – SB2022/3 – 9am-5pm: CODEBASH

There will be one last Codebash on Thursday 21st April in SB2022/3. As with all Codebashes, the format is that you can drop in for as long or as little as you’d like. This will be your last chance to get supervised support so make sure you’re there if you haven’t completed all the medals before then!

FRIDAY 22ND APRIL – SB2022/3 – 9am-5pm: The Last Chance Saloon (for missed Orange Events)

For those of you who missed one or more Orange Events, there will be one and only one opportunity to do them on Friday 22nd April. If you intend to take up this opportunity it is important that you email me and book a place. IF YOU DO NOT BOOK A PLACE YOU WILL NOT BE ADMITTED ON THE DAY. Everybody will have different things they missed, so I need to know who is coming in advance so that I can make sure each attendee gets the right material.

One more, with feeling:

IF YOU DO NOT BOOK A PLACE FOR THE LAST CHANCE SALOON YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RETAKE MISSED ORANGE EVENTS.

So, do be sure to take the opportunities we are giving you to help you pass. There is no reason why anyone should fail IF they are willing to do a bit of hard work, and we’ll help you with that as much as we can.

All the best and have a good holiday period,

Paul

Card Game Challenge (Further Java Workshop 4 – TEAM SKYWALKER)

The fourth “workshop” for the Further Java unit is the card game exercise.

This activity should be done in pairs and you will need to notify Paul of your pair allocations before starting (or you will not be eligible for the marks!)

To be eligible for this workshop, you must have more than 30 NoobLab points on the second Java unit, and 65 NoobLab points on the first Java unit. If you do not have this points tally you will be asked to go back and complete the earlier exercises first!

You should only do this workshop if you are in Team Skywalker.

Follow this link to log in and do the workshop. Alternatively, you might choose to do your work in NetBeans if you prefer – the NoobLab page is just for the medal awarding in that case.
