20th Jan Dissertation Presentation

This post will be about the presentation I had done on the Monday that has just gone. So, for a while, the class knew that we would have to pitch a presentation about what it is we are doing for the presentation, where abouts we are in terms of work at the moment and our plans going forward to ensure that this will get done when it should.

The general response that the presentation was that it wasn't too bad, one of my lecturers said the blog is coming along nicely, organised well and it's going in the right direction. The main thing that was said however was that I have underscoped what it was I wanted to produce as a final product. A few blog posts back I spoke about how what it is I want to do for the final product is will be a cycle of movement that would be spanned over 2 seconds - so, all that for a whole year's worth of work, which thinking over it would look really bad. 

But I am in luck however as another lecturer, Dave, said that he is up for meeting Friday morning to discuss and talk about what would be much more substantial for an end product. To be honest, I am happy about it - I would rather be told that I have too add things to it than be told I have too much to do and would be better scaling down.

As far as how I felt I presented, I thought that I was able to present pretty good - I like to think that I have improved with how I am able to conduct myself when presenting. I am usually told I do speak quite quiet and fast sometimes but I felt that I was able to project my voice in a clear and loud enough manner. I did however felt that some of the slides could have had a bit more information on them but I was able to expand on those vague points enough.

I also did point out that I tend to have a habit of not posting on my blog as soon as I have done something regarding dissertation. I remember taking notes from last semester and I had completely forgot about them until a couple of weeks ago or so, even with this post, so I will try to keep on top of all the updates that I do going forward and hopefully this won't happen again.

Hopefully by tomorrow I will have a post going forward about what the final product will be.
