Second lecture discussing the deadlines -- this week 2/3 of the class turned-up, so as an incentive/reward I've given a 5 week (over Christmas) extension to those who turned-up (which received my 1st ever round of applause <grin>). Actually this is a rather "soft" rule as I'm happy to give the extension to anyone who asks for it -- they have to actually show-up (the 1/3 that weren't here today probably never come in!) -- and it gives me a chance to warn them about plagiarism & my intention to treat seriously any cases this year (last year in this module we were soft as the admin required to "convict" 50 students was deemed to be too great. There's more discussion of this problem in this post from June 2003.)
