I had alot of people marked absent this week, but I tried to only take off 1 point for people who I know were really really late. I need a better system for documenting this.

This week, there was a mix up in the attendance sheet for section 2. Dr. Woodbury and I both passed around sheets, and the second sheet passed gave some people who came in late a chance to sign the sheet. Because of the confusion, I recorded as if everyone had come on time.

2007-09-07

Talked with Andrew MacGreggor? and Scott Cimarusti. We worked out a system for how I could video tape the courses. Here's what we decided on:

• Every Monday/Wednesday, I will roll a cart from the studio in the basement to 1103. It will have a camera and an encoder
• After I'm done taping classes, I will roll the cart back down to the studio and upload the files to dcsvideo.cs.uiuc.edu
• Drew will give me an aspx container so that I can select the times of each student's presentation
• I will create aspx files for each student
• I will upload them to the wiki, guarding each page with restrictions so that only people in that section can see the tapes

2007-09-04

• Emailed Drew, gave him advance warning that I'd like to record Monday's lecture.
• Notified Marsha of a confidential student

2007-09-02

Changed the webpage so that all heavily modified pages are now read from the wiki.

2007-08-28

Graded all of assignment 1. It took about 5 hours.

2007-08-27

Added signup sheets for section 1 & 2 to the class website. Aaron Brottman's presentation and introduction are on the same day, 2007-09-17.

2007-08-21

printed out the rest of the initial signup sheets and listened to my talk with Marsha (Dr. Woodbury). Looking at the old compass grades didn't really help, I just saw alot of 6/6 grades. I'll come up with my own set of guidelines by the first class, hopefully.

Do I need to start planning weekly assignments?

I'll post more when I talk to Dr. Woodbury at 3 today.

2007-08-20

I updated my thunderbird client so I can keep up with the newsgroup. I also printed out all the syllabus handouts.

Talked to Drew McGregor? . Video taping everyone's presentations is feasible:

• I request a cart with video camera/encoder built in
• I tape the whole class
• I mark the start and stop time for each presentation
• Later, I upload the .wmv files to a webpage (cs wiki?)
• With help of script, I make .asx files that tell when to start/stop reading the .wmv file.

Potential problems:

• Access control: are we ok with students having access to taped presentations of each other? Could this cause problems if abused?
