- [x] Terms from other fields and same for software engineering (as the logical conclusion of the first 2 points) on slide 4 should be images
- [x] "Include" the graph of test approaches ("hold on, where is it?" followed by the LaTeX error message)
- [ ] The final slide should be a visual take-home of the most important thing
- [x] Citations shouldn't be distracting
- [ ] LOTS of my existing content should be in my speaker notes instead
Improve Examples of Inconsistencies
- [x] Represent them using highlighted excerpts from standards documents
- [x] They should be PAINFULLY obvious (i.e., the audience shouldn't have to decide on whether there is an inconsistency or not)
- Omissions are a good place to look for inspiration
- [ ] Example to look into: the term X has Y journal papers in the title!
- [x] The example of alpha testing could drive home the point of interorganizational consistency
Improve Story/Structure
- [x] Move slide with existing taxonomies to AFTER examples of discrepancies with MUCH simpler explanations for their exclusion
- [x] Reword RQs
- 2: Are these descriptions consistent?
- 3: Can these inconsistencies be resolved?
- [x] "Lit Review" isn't the right term in "Lit Review Time!" - this should probably be a summary of my results, to be expanded upon in following slides
- [x] I should first outline my Methodology as a list of steps to be elaborated on later (after a summary of the results)
- Find sources (source info)
- Read sources (info on how I recorded)
- Analyze results (discuss tools/discrepancies)
- [ ] I could potentially bring in printed-out spreadsheet (with a super tiny font) to show the scope of the work!
Not sure if this merits a meeting or could just be answered over email, but I've recently came to a point in making my seminar slides where the content would be based on parts of my thesis that haven't been reviewed yet. Would it be worth it to continue working on the slides or wait until the relevant supporting content has been reviewed? There's more work that I can be doing in the meantime so it's not a blocker, just want to make sure I'm using my time "wisely".
If there's any other notes on reviews (even just initial thoughts) that would be useful to discuss over a call we can chat about those as well, or we could also look at what I have of my slides so far.
