Week 9: 17th Nov - 23rd Nov: Presentation Time

Below is my final presentation:








Overall the presentation went well. I was last in the group of people and this made me very nervous. I was listening to everyone else before me giving their talks and their projects seemed so hard and very involved whereas mine sounds very simple and looks like it wouldn't take much to answer. This made me very nervous and scared thinking about what questions I may be given at the end. However, once it was done I stood waiting for my questions and I needn't have been worried. Henry first asked me what the focus of my project was but he practically answered the question himself as he went on to ask me is it to see at point realistic simulations need to be approximated and I basically agreed with that as I do realise that a point will come but I am going to be simulating realistic movement until the running speed slows down. Dr Ozveren was next to ask me a question. He wanted to know if I would only be looking at bouncing objects and I said not entirely as the ball, when it bounces, will have additional movement of spinning involved so I will be looking into all movement really. This was really the end of the presentation but their last comments to me was that its sounds like an interesting and difficult topic. This put a big smile on my face as it was the the difficulty that bothered me. Here I was thinking, its too easy, its too easy, but in fact they are very interested in how difficult it may be and how interesting it sounds. It was the boost i really needed to get me through this project and it gave me an added confidence in the project.
