Below are explicit instructions and expectations. Let the instructor know if you have any questions or concerns!
Presentations involving a single student will be 10 minutes plus 5 for questions, and for two students it will be 15 minutes plus 5 for questions. Presentations involving two students should provide sufficient time for each to be the presenter.
We need to have smooth transitions, so you should come ready with your laptop ready to display slides and run your demo. If you think there will be any problem with this, let the instructor know as soon as possible. You may use the instructors laptop, but in this case, you must send slides by noon of the day you are presenting, and your demo must be somethnig that can be performed online without any installation on the instructor's laptop.
The presentations should be in two parts: the first is a presentation (PDF, powerpoint, Impress.js) and the second part is a live demo of the system you have built. How much time you alot to each portion is up to you.
The presentations will be scored on the criteria below. There are 100 points total. For each category, examples of low, medium and high scoring efforts are given.
