Week 7: July 11 - July 17, 2010
This week was spent putting the final touches to the project. I was able to transfer my code into the classes program to have the program work more efficiently. I was also able to merge the work done my other team members into my project so as to get one complete working project.
At the end of the week, our team demonstrated our work to Dr. Hodges. We had to present it in two parts as we did not get to finalize merging the applications into one main project. We will work on that next week.
I should also spend majority of my time next week working on the poster presentations and have documentation to review to aide in building my poster.
This week, I walked to the lake on Clemson's campus, which is a pretty good walk. It's where Clemson rowing practices and it looks like a small beach. We planned on going back one weekend to swim in the lake! I also played volleyball, had dinner at Dr. Hodges and went to the movies.
Hours worked ~ 40 hours
Week 8: July 18 - July 24, 2010
We demonstrated the final version of our project to Dr. Hodges along with the other students and professors that have been working in our lab. We were able to get the application merged into one main project and the demonstration went well.
A pre-written script was used at first and then several variations of the questions was used to see if the application was smart enough to come back with an appropriate answer, which it did. Dr. Hodges was happy with our work and the fact that we were able to complete the project within the allotted time.
Next week, we will demonstrate our project to faculty and staff here at Clemson University.
I also continued working on my poster and had it reviewed by the Ph. D students I am working with. They provided feedback on changes I should make, which I will implement and should have the final version complete early next week. I should also have the report completed with my poster next week.
I went to watch another movie this weekend with some of the other students. Afterwards, we went out to eat and hang out as well. I didn't play volleyball this week but did attend Dr. Hodges dinner!
