In the meeting with Dr Lucas this week, we talked about a number of things.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With regards to my progress on the project so far, I had the basic scene with a particle falling (seemingly) under gravity with what looked like the correct bounce off the flat. However, when I attempted to add in coefficient of friction and the coefficient of restitution of the bounce I somehow uncovered a bug which broke the program. Therefore, I was unable to show Dr Lucas my progress. I am however, not sure if what I have done is correct as I have seemed to predict the time and velocity and I do not think the equations made from then on are right and so it would have been beneficial to show Dr Lucas this and ask him for his opinion on what might be wrong. In reflection, I think I should have asked him anyway so that he knew I had potential problems.

We also talked bout the weighting of the modules for the honours project and what we get marked on which was very helpful for me as I was very unsure about CS1001A and what was marked for it.

Before the end of the meeting, I asked for feedback on the proposal to find out where I was marked down so that I can ensure that the same mistakes do not happen in the dissertation. Dr Lucas told me that I did not go into enough information about the subject, why it was a problem, evidence supporting this, the motivation behind doing the project and the background of my chosen area of research. I also had to make myself sound more positive and enthusiastic about the topic.
----
This meeting was extremely useful and I hope to meet with Dr Lucas before our next meeting to show him my program without the bug.
