Class 10.1

1st October
Interim
Prototype | Test

We started off presenting to a team from our class and two teams from the another class. It was great to have old eyes (our class team, ourselves) and new eyes (the other class teams) see our project and presentation. We were able to see what parts we had missed out of our presentation that was needed, for example when questions were asked and we thought we'd covered that we knew for the next presentation to the other classes we'd need to include that. They loved our idea and didn't really have a huge amount of feedback for us really so we were relying on the anonymous feedback from the other classes to help us move forward.

Unfortunately when we returned we found that one person had sat down and wrote an entire 5 paragraph essay for us. Apart from their personal opinion about our name pretty much every single point they made we'd already considered and fixed/done so it was useless. Tim said this was great and just showed that our idea was to their standard but personally I just felt that while writing all of that in full sentences they may have stopped other people giving us feedback that may have helped.

Literally an essay...

Anyways we got a fair bit from looking at the other classes work though. I know from talking to some people in other classes that they haven't actually been taught about writing/getting across their big idea so that let a lot of them down in their presentations. But a lot of them have a whole range of touch points (some had 11??), we just didn't know what they were for. I feel a lot better about our idea and the point we're at from seeing everyone else's work. We're at a good point for week 10 and hopefully if we get some good tutor feedback tomorrow we can move our idea to the next level!
