Research Seminar - September 6, 2000

Seminar Announcement


Title: The C-S-Star Timetable & Mark Software System
Speaker: Dr Chris McDonald
  Department of Computer Science & Software Engineering, UWA
Date: Wednesday 6th September, 2000
Time: 1.00pm
Venue: Seminar Room 1.24

Abstract

Dr Chris McDonald has written software which
  • allows students to choose which labs or tutorials will be taken;
  • allows staff to enter marks for assignments, tests, exams etc.
  • allows students to see their mark components for all subjects, as well as histograms showing how they are performing relative to the class.
The software is well tested and has a superb interface for both staff and students. The timetable part of the system, in particular, is extremely useful as it can eliminate a great deal of tiresome administrative work in a complex course.

It is the intention of the Faculty administration that this software will be used by all Departments (except Maths, who already have a similar system). This will mean that students are always informed about all marks, that resources such as labs are allocated in a flexible way and will ensure that staff records are correct (since students are quick to point out errors!).

The software was written as part of a 1999 USF project "Web Teaching", which was funded with money taken from Departmental budgets. In other words, you have paid for this development - come and see what you got!

In this presentation Chris will demonstrate the C-S-star software and will call on staff to begin the process of loading detailed unit information for the courses they teach.
