ABOUT YOUR PORTFOLIO
Hey everyone,
Just a quick note on your portfolio, the only things
you really have to have in your portfolio are the things
listed below in the "In your Portfolio" column,
that said, I would like it if you wanted to include exercises
we do in class, notes from the class, or assignments you
do elsewhere where you use techniques learned in this
class, or interesting articles or papers you read about
the topics, but it's up to you.
The portfolio is collected on the last week, and it is
the key examinable item for the class, so I won't be able
to return them back to you, so please take copies of stuff
you want to keep.
|
|
Also, I very much welcome feedback
on the module, so please send me an e-mail whenever you like
about the course, about anything at all, stuff you liked,
stuff you didn't, things you'd like me to do in the coming
weeks, or just a general chat. Just subject heading "Problem
Solving feedback" to Damian.Gordon@dit.ie
