I really enjoyed listening to these senior thesis. You can tell that most of them did a lot of research and it was impressive. There were a wide range of topics and I look forward to seeing their senior projects. Tony recommended that we look at their bibliographies to learn more about their research and subject matter.
Candy - Manual Designs. Candy was very professional in her presentation. She was knowledgeable with answers to questions. I took a good page of notes to use for the future. It was like being at a conference with a speaker.
Corina - Kinetic Typography. Corina had a myriad of examples to reinforce her topic and also included videos that synced with her speech. I felt that she put careful thought and precision in her presentation material. The body type was in all caps and was hard to read on her power-points.
Kelsey - Science Fiction. Kelsey's presentation focused on understanding the theories of distopias and utopian used in television. Fandoms, icons and examples were included. I especially liked her comment regarding the culture of fandoms, "I get you." Referring to how fandoms form groups and relate to each other because they can share a common experience. The science fiction fad of nerds being popular (ironically and asynonymous) was part of her research.
Alan - Understanding Virtual Reality Uses. I felt that Alan's presentation lacked focus and content. It seems like a good topic but I couldn't understand where he was going with it. It was an awkward presentation that needed practice to aid in confidence.
