Thesis Feedback Pending

Where: MAGNET 845

Participants: Gui Bueno, Maaike Bouwmeester

Duration: 20min

Topics:

  • Am I going to finish my thesis in time? Do I need an extension?
  • Which should be my next priorities: paper, presentation, poster, prototype?
  • What is lacking in my development section that makes it feel incomplete?
  • Would it be a good idea at this moment to add a narrative component based on an actual bug?
  • When and what should I re-submit for further feedback?

Results:

  • I am confident I can finish my thesis paper in time and I cannot apply for an extension.
  • If I had done everything on time, I would not be overwhelmed with multiple tasks now.
  • I should prioritize the evaluation and development sections of the paper.
  • Of course, I also need to prioritize my Design Expo poster and presentation.
  • I should develop a better design rationale, such as Marty's, to explain my design decisions.
  • Wireframe and prototype sections only show the screens I have made, without tehory/explanation.
  • Narrative could help in the presentation, and anything that does so is always valid/worth it.
  • Re-submit paper with Evaluation and Rationale by the end of this weekend (04/30).
