Week 14: Moving Forward – Sharing Our Progress and Learning from Feedback
This week marked an important step in our research journey. We presented both our Pet Connect system interface and the current draft of our manuscript during our partial defense. It was a great opportunity to show the progress we’ve made so far and gather valuable insights from our instructors.
During the session, we demonstrated how the Graphical User Interface (GUI) works, highlighting key features, how users can move through the system, and how each part supports our goal of helping pet owners and veterinarians connect more easily. We were glad to receive positive feedback on the flow and structure of the design, as well as suggestions on how to make the interface even clearer and more consistent.
On the academic side, we also walked through our manuscript, explaining the research behind our system, how we planned and built it, and the steps we took to get where we are now. This part helped us better understand the importance of being clear and detailed in both our writing and explanations.
The feedback we received from sir Earl and gave us a clearer direction moving forward. We’re now working as a team to apply their suggestions, refining both the system and the manuscript to make sure everything is aligned and well-prepared for the final submission of our paper.
We’re proud of how far we’ve come and even more motivated to keep improving. One step at a time, we’re getting closer to completing Pet Connect!
