Presentation Analysis:
Remuneration is the compensation one receives from work. Therefore the most common form of remuneration is a wage or payment.
This presentation was probably the most engaging and well prepared one of them all. Both of the members spoke clearly and worked off of each other to convey their research effectively. They relied on no scripts or notes and made constant interaction with their powerpoint slides.
Their use of graphics such as tables, charts and graphs displays the amount of research and depth they delved into to create the presentation.
They outlined the advantages and disadvantages of being employed by a business or being a freelancer. These include differences in pay, stability, work lengths, time, stress, etc.
Factors that affected remuneration include:
- Experience
- Business Size
- Individual Standards
- Complexity of Job
- Job Position
- Location
They also include an image of a typical invoice outlining how to complete one in order to receive payment.
They introduced the class to an app known as the time doctor which enables users to keep track of hours worked, in order for correct payment per hour to be logged. They also rationalised wages and payments through calculations throughout the presentation.
In terms of the relation to their own project, they worked out how much money they would get paid for the completion of their project. The calculated wages per hour and then calculated it for the length of time on the project, resulting in $7000 worth of work.
Relation to our group:
The Bus Stop of the Future Group is working towards receiving a final grade attributed to completing their degree of Architectural Computing. As a result in this case remuneration is not quite the exchange of payment, rather a grading as the payment, being a direct result of the quality of work.
Yet remuneration in terms of payment can become a case after our semester has finished. One of the early details we figured out while working on this project was the final physical model was not due till August. This created a problem as the subject finishes in early June.
As a result we would either complete our semester and leave the project to Hank and any new workers, or continue our work.
One of the obvious issues with continuing the work without it attributing to your degree is that there is no incentive. It's obviously a good project to lay claim to when trying to attain future jobs and is a good experience. This is an issues where remuneration can be slightly changed.
- We could ask Hank to pay us to help him complete the work in areas such as cnc routing
- Finish our work at the end of semester
- Continue to gain valuable experience
- Ask for recognition of your work in the project in the final submission
These are all valuable outcomes to the problem the group is facing. Most of us are leaning to points in which we would continue to gain experience but also want some line of recognition in the final submission, so we can claim we worked on a large project for our portfolios. Another important factor is that Hank can supply us with vouchers from the 20,000 budget, meaning we don't have to spend our own money to create models, giving us an incentive to continue on in the project.
