Week 4

Today was quite helpful (at least the lecture was)

With a concrete idea now in sight it was time to develop the project plan, which was supposed to be done by today but hey, no one does this stuff on time. We all got another run down on how to structure the project plan and map out our projects with goals and end results and outcomes in mind. After a few quick, but relatively in depth, explanations of the different aspects of a project plan it was quite easy to make a start. I had already made several bullet points in terms of the concept, the outcomes and how to go about the production and processes so all that was needed now was to take the jumbled and random information and arrange it into the correct categories and hopefully finish up with a project plan worth using.

Lorna explained how the presentation side of things were going to be run at the end of it all. The end decision was that the presentations would be held during SWATVAC. This gave us more time as SWATVAC was the week after all assessments are due. We were informed on the rules of inviting particular guests and friends and families. One thing which was very good to hear was the fact that we are not being marked on our presentation. Though being marked would force us (the student body) into learning about and furthering our presentation skills. However, it is more nice to know that we are being marked solely on our end product and process undertaken to achieve the end result.

Think you may have your wires crossed with the presentation at end of semester. There is an end of semester presentation of your projects in class, previously this was timed with the end-of-year exhibit but this year we've changed it up a bit. The exhibition is in no way connected to the Project 2 assessment - merely it is for you to show off your work to potential employers. The demonstration (assessable) of your final project happens in week 13.
Sorry for the confusion.
