I spent most of this week finishing up my Research and creating my presentation. On Monday we were shown examples of previous students work, this was helpful to see how much detail to include and how to not run out of time during the 8 minutes.

During the afternoon session we worked on how to quickly dive into a subject, working in pairs we chose to dive into pattern recognition as my partner had chosen it as a topic but was unsure of where to start.

Creating my presentation

I wanted my presentation to be simple and easy to digest, information is presented in bullet points on which I expand on during the talk. I found a neat and tidy flower template for the slides.

For the images I either used images I had taken or made sure I knew where they were sourced from. I also made sure I referenced the images in the talk.

The basic format of my four topics were how it began, what it is like now and where I could see the subject going next, including further reading and visuals. Once I finished I practised presenting with my friend, these practises were successful and I made it within the time limit each time without rushing.

Thoughts for the Week –

This was a productive week and I am getting quite excited about the topics I have chosen, I am eager to see what ones people respond the best to on Monday during my presentation.
