First week of uni and the first lecture for UPC 0004. My name is Sofia and that's all you need to know. The lecture today basically introduced us into what the course is about and what we will be doing, ie. what the assignments will consist of and what is expected of us in this unit, for example attending all lectures and tutorials, handing in assignments on time, the importance of not referencing etc.
This unit teaches us all the basics of computing and the essentials of PC's. We will start from workshop 1 in our tutorial and keep a journal each week with different activities to complete. This week;s workshop is the introduction to university computing.
Tutorial (Work Shop One)
Our first task was to explore the ecu website and sign into SIMO and blackboard, also to sign into our email accounts and check if they are up to date and working. Gary asked us to get 2 people to exchange emails.
Our third task was to set up a blog on http://www.blogger.com/ where we will be recording our on going journal. Each week the blogg should consist of a summary for the lecture and the tutorial, screenshots(using the print screen function on the keyboard) and a summary of the readings given each week in the links on unit resources.
Our fourth task was to creat an account on image shack(http://www.imageshack.us/).
