Today was my first peer feedback session this morning, and after I got myself caffeinated, I found it to be such a great way to start my day. I really enjoyed hearing the thoughts that the other students had about their own thesis topics, as well as some of the questions that they were thinking about as they were going through the process. It was also so cool to hear the super deep and philosophical ideas that my peers are thinking about!
It was also super helpful to get the chance to talk through my ideas, and get some new ideas and feedback about them. At the beginning of this semester I was super unsure about what to focus on for thesis, and the more I think about, the more I’m realizing that I should perhaps focus on a topic that I’ve been noodling on for years: radio waves. Since it’s been an idea that I’ve been wanting to dig in and understand more deeply for awhile now, I’m hoping I’ll be able to hold on to the passion and excitement.
I discovered during Crit Ex in the fall, capturing ideas in some sort of board like miro or figjam is really helpful for me, rather than capturing things in a google doc. Having the ability to harness the chaos that is my brain sometimes is really helpful. So, here’s a miro board with some notes and suggestions from the feedback session this morning: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVPpm9y8k=/?share_link_id=789041394246
