Mid Semester Further Review

A week after my Mid Semester presentation I was given formal feedback from my lecturer Malte. This went quite well and we talked through some of the issues of it all. Here are some of the things that were brought up.

  1. Clarify what is going on more at the beginning of the presentation next time.
  2. For whom and why and what - Basically he was wondering if I could demonstrate the answers to questions like these in my presentation. I think he though I was a little bit confused about whom and why.
  3. Become part of another team. Join another project that i can be part of. I think this is a great suggestion and I hope to be able to do it. Currently I am trying to get people in my community to host a project, even if it is just between the two of us but most people are pretty soft core in this regard.
  4. My lecturer things that I should have 3 components
    1. Set-up getting collaborators - Design 2.0
    2. Real collaboration - The competition work I am doing with Soumitri et al.
    3. Part of someone else's project - Non as of yet but hopefully one soon.
  5. He would like me to find ways to succinctly suggest my background and the project as it is.
  6. He also found my presentation too conversational. He suggests bring in some fundamental images at the start to allow people to fit in better. Perhaps a map of the project approach or something along these lines.
  7. He then suggested that a map like this is in some ways what could also be the final design outcome for the overall project
  8. He asks, Counter project and major project work together but how? Outline direct pros and cons and related materials. I think this also extends to the 3 types of collaboration outlined above.
