MA defence conducted, on Uexküll and Damasio

This Thursday, two days ago, I took part as opponent in Mara Woods' defence of her MA thesis "Modelling affective habit into Jakob von Uexküll's functional cycle".

Beforehand I had sent her, the chair of the committee and her supervisor a three-page written evaluation, commenting on positive and negative aspects of the thesis and posing some questions. The defence lasted for half an hour.

Pre-defense of MA thesis on Uexküll and Damasio taken place

As mentioned earlier I will not only be opponent at Mara Woods' defense of her MA thesis "Modelling affect into Jakob von Uexküll's functional cycle", but would be an opponent at her pre-defense as well. And so I was, concluding that phase of the evaluation/input work Monday July 18th.

Woods' draft of MA thesis was accepted by the pre-defense committe for the next step: Finalization and then defense. My co-opponent was Davide Weible.
