Hi, Hope the final week has been going really well. This is just a quick note that the Reflections 2 marks are now available on csmarks. Cheers MichaelW

Hi, Just to let you know that submissions of Sprint 3 Reflections are now open. To be honest, I have no idea why you could not submit your Sprint 3 Reflections; all the options were apparently correctly set, so I simply removed the earlier version and...

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, As you have surmised, minutes for the W12 mentor meeting are not required. Of course, they cannot contribute to Booked Hours as well. Cheers MichaelW

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, Just use the git log command and cat into a file. Screen capture is useless as it cannot be interogated; please avoid. Cheers MichaelW

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, That is odd. Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into it after some lunch. Cheers MichaelW

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, I think I covered the first question in my email to everyone (but thanks for the prompt). That said, please let me know if I've overlooked something. As for the Mentor meeting, it's there as a wrap up, but entirely up to you and yo...

Hi Jansen, Re how long, as long as it takes to properly demonstrate the system. I really do not believe in time-serving. It's a chance to celebrate what you have achieved and really strut your stuff. No point in being shy. Cheers MichaelW

Hi, As I mentioned in another thread, please keep in mind that the timesheet is mainly an exercise in prediction, and a management tool for the project where it provides a consolidated view of progress to date (versus expectation). What I'm seeking to...

ANONYMOUS wrote That depends where the reality is. Please keep in mind that the timesheet is mainly an exercise in prediction, and a management tool for the project where it provides a consolidated view of progress to date (versus expectation). It sh...

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, I think I've already dealt with this via email, but the principle is that work needs to stop on that Monday. When things are shown off is a separate matter (within reason; you have exams ). Cheers MichaelW

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi Yes, and No. Yes, 5pm refers to delivery of docs to the Client (hence the assumption of working hours). For uploading to your Team's MS-Teams folder, the later deadline applies. Cheers MichaelW

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, To be honest, I never thought of it that way. For me, the goals met (or partially met) are an integral part of the retrospective (not least, to mark how far you've come). Cheers MichaelW

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, From the start of the project (so Week 2), please. I'm interested in the diversity overall. Cheers MichaelW

Hi, As this is an update meeting, on the path to the final product, it makes sense for only those to go who have something to discuss demo. I think it's important, for closure, for everyone to be at the Sprint 3 (final product demo) meetings. Cheers Mi...

Hi, No, that is just the way csmarks reports values Cheers MichaelW

Hi Min, The two Alex Reid lectures can be treated as a single lecture for the purposes of the PDP because it's the same person talking about the same topic. The two video only lectures are by different people speaking to different topics, so each need...

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, The set of reflections, which you submitted as a single .docx or .pdf, will be read by the one person. Cheers MichaelW

Hi, It's explained in an email I sent out a short while ago, though the complete story can be found on the Project page. Cheers MichaelW

Hi Aaminah, As you wish. If you'd like to include a cover page, that's fine; if you prefer not to, that's also fine. Cheers MichaelW

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, That is curious, as the basic infrastructure of the unit has been the same for, say, 10 years. I have thus far assumed that if a url is using relative addressing, and .html file is named, with out further annotation, that it lives ...

Hi Everyone, A FAQ about the Contribution mark Yes, but the expectation is that most people will generally contribute around 60. Only a small number of people get anywhere near a genuine 100hrs 10marks if everyone does their bit, and frankly, that is ...

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, I can confirm that you are to provide 7 reviews. Given that you could use a large font and double spacing, I'm not prepared to be specific about the length of each reflection. The question each review needs to address is how is th...

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi On the contrary, you will be hard pressed to complete the project unless work is done over the non-teaching week, so it's strongly recommended. For the reporting, weekly deliverables are due, as usual, at the end of this week, but n...

Hi Everyone I've had a couple people email me about what the minutes should look like, and whether you must use the sample one I have provided. No, you do not need to use that format; it's just there as a guide to get you started. The necessary element...

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, I think you'll find that I answered the same question in an earlier thread, but to save you hunting for the response, the short answer is No, time spent on reflections should not be entered and will not be counted. The reason is th...

ANONYMOUS wrote No, that's fine. Without the questions, the person marking the reflection has to mentally insert them to make sense of the replies. On past experience, it's pretty obvious which section is talking a out which question. OTOH, if you've...

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, Perhaps I'm missing something, but all the lectures were recorded; most were live recordings and two were from past years. (See the lectures page for details). They are all to be included, except that the two lectures by Alex Reid ...

Hi Taylah Client meetings should (always) be minuted. Mentor meeting needs to be minuted. However, the meeting with the Auditor is just a normal Team meeting, so will be minuted in the usual run of things; just add Auditor to the list of attendees. Che...

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, No, personal reflections are personal, rather than contributing to the project, so I don't think it's appropriate to add them. (Fair question, though.) Cheers MichaelW

Hi, Woops. Yes, this is week 4, so the meetings will take place week after next. Got ahead of myself. My apologies. Cheers MichaelW

ANONYMOUS wrote No, when I said your Team's director, I meant your Team's directory sigh . Unfortunately, the Auditor directory permissions were not set properly to prevent that. Cheers MichaelW

Hi, Yes, Team directories is what I had in mind, though quite a few Teams placed them, incorrectly, in the Auditors director, which is meant for Auditors use, but the permissions were not properly set). Cheers MichaelW

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, As you will see, the Sprint 1 reflection is a structured document. Please just respond to the questions (and include the question in the response). There is no fixed length for each response, and some, particularly questions of fac...

Hi Elijah, LMS please. It used to be cssubmit. I'll change that right away. Thanks for letting me know. That said, cssubmit will not accept submissions in any case; the deadline is just listed there proforma. Cheers MichaelW

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, No, it is not compulsory. It's there if you want to write something. Main thing to bear in mind that only I get to see the comments, so you can share any concerns (though you can also chat with your Team's Auditor). That said, your...

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, There is no need for an extra document because the Auditor is meant to attend one of the normal Team meetings, so will be noted in the Minutes for that meeting. In other words, it should be a real normal meeting, not a performance ...

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, The STARS report is just provided as an example, in case you want a starting point. If you want to do something different, that's fine. Ultimately, its content is to be negotiated between the Team and the Client, and the format sho...

ANONYMOUS wrote Just do something sensible, like creating a named Sprint 1 sub-directory, to make it easy to find. On that basis, putting the Sprint 1 deliverables in Week 4 is not particularly helpful. Cheers MichaelW

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, What testing refers to in the documents are the acceptance tests that the Team negotiate with the Client. Of course there will need to be internal testing at the module level, but the user doesn't necessarily need to see them, unle...

Hi Hai Ning, I think it's fine to have all the bits in one doc. Makes a lot of sense, particularly if you add a table to contents at the font. That'd look very good, by the way. Cheers MichaelW

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, Aren't those the same thing?? Of course, the Sprint 2 stories are intermediate goals on the way to Sprint 3 deliverables. Cheers MichaelW

Hi Devarsh, Literally, Yes; The report can only be about how tests went once the product has been delivered. However, the structure of the report, and the tests it is to cover, need to be agreed with the Client now. Cheers MichaelW

Hi Mitchell, Rephrasing what I said in reply to Devarsh's question, the set of tests should be what the client wants to see to convince themselves that that system does what they requested it to do. BTW, the Team should, independently, put in place sys...

That is at the end looking back; what you need now are those Acceptance Tests, agreed between the Team and the Client, that will form the basis of "accepting" the product (in this case the mark for the tests passed - see Sprint 3 description). Cheers M...

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, It's not been provided as I have thought that it makes no sense to provide it, given that every project will require a different (though, presumably, overlapping) skills-set. That said, I wonder if you're over-thinking this; what i...

Hi Taylah, In truth, I have no idea. Sprint 2 is fine, but when I went to user-mimic mode, Sprint 1 and Sprint 3 Reflections submissions are not visible, though the links for all are visible. Hi have deleted Sprint 1 Reflections and recreated it. AFI...

ANONYMOUS wrote Unless you can suggest a similar technology, yes. I do understand that many people find Git unintuitive, but it is the defacto standard for version control so everyone leaving UWA really does need to know how to use it. That said, my ...

Hi Jansen, Given that you will be submitting all of those each week in any case via MS-Teams, putting them on Github is redundant. I have in mind code (of course), docs, test logs. That sort of thing. Cheers MichaelW

Hi Elijah I really did misread your question. sigh . You really did say reflections, and the Sprint 1 Reflections site should now be visible. sigh Cheers MichaelW

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, Time remaining only needs to be updated each week based on the actual time spent versus what has been achieved. In the worst case it could grow As you have just started, all entries will just have the estimates for time required. C...

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, Within reason, more than one page is fine. The one page is just a guide, as some people struggle to populate even that much. Cheers MichaelW

Hi Elijah, My apologies for being unclear. Those directions are for the Reflections. The Sprint 1 docs, apart from going to the client, should be placed, clearly labelled, in the Teams directory. Cheers MichaelW

Regarding the PDP, several people have emailed me about submitting the lecture reflections. While it makes sense to do the reflections while the content is fresh in your mind, please wait till you have watched them all and submit a single doc; see ...

Hi Everyone, A couple FAQs from the last few days.

Hi Taytlah First off, thanks for posting under your name, rather than anonymously. I very much prefer to know who I'm replying to. Client meeting, Yes. Auditor meeting happens anyway, as the Team is inviting the Auditor to a normal weekly Team meetin...

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, Apologies. The version I had was not the version I posted. I have now posted the mapping of Teams to Mentors, including their addresses https teaching.csse.uwa.edu.au units CITS3200 project mentor map.html Cheers MichaelW ...

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, The reason I've said nothing about Mentors thus far is that, to be fair to all, we need to have a Mentor for each and every Team. Right now I have 41 Mentors for 47 Teams; close, but not good enough. I'll make a formal announcement...

That depends entirely on whether the presenter sends it to me. I have now posted the slides from Ruolian Fang's lecture. Cheers MichaelW

Hi Heidi, If you (singular or plural) were working on the project, sure. Just roll the hours into the tally that you will be submitting at the end of this week (Week 2). Re a time, as a Team member you need to send your booked-hours to the Project Man...

Sure. The pre-recorded lectures can be view at any time, though - clearly - you'll need to have watched them before you attempt that part of the Professional Development Portfolio (https teaching.csse.uwa.edu.au units CITS3200 PDP.html). Cheers Mich...

Hi Everyone, Just to remind you that there are no lectures happening this week in the Monday and Wednesday slot (29 7, 1 8). In these things, I am governed by the availability of th e lecturers. Here is the list of lectures (https teaching.csse.uwa....

Hi Everyone, Welcome to help3200. I imagine that, by now, you are well used to the helpXXXX fora that are associated with most CITS units. help3200 is no different. You are welcome to post questions, or reply to questions or contribute to a discussion...

ANONYMOUS wrote Hi, Please just submit a single PDF or MS-Word doc for all the lectures on or before the due date. Handling 260 people x 9 lectures is a recipe for confusion. Better 260 x 1 omnibus PDF, right? Cheers MichaelW
