Project presentation

As you wrap up your projects, you’ll need to present them and your results to the class.

Due

Presentations will be in class on Monday, 4/29.

Collaboration

As with the rest of the project, you’ll be presenting together with your project partner.

Assignment

Prepare and deliver a 15-minute presentation about your project.

Please stick to the time targets for your presentation. Presentations that run significantly over time will be cut off; those significantly shorter than the target will not receive full credit.

Your presentation should include (at a minimum):

• A hook (why should we care about what you’re doing?)
• The background necessary to understand your work
  • You don’t have to talk about related work except for any work on which you build directly.
• Your methods
• Results, in some detail
• Discussion, including:
  • Key takeaways from your results
  • Ways to apply your findings
  • Lessons for different stakeholders
  • Potential future research directions

Don’t end your presentation with a “Questions?” slide. Instead, have the last slide (the one you leave up for the Q&A) contain the most important points you want your audience to remember.

For ideas about structure, I recommend looking at presentations from a recent technical conference, many of which are available online. For example, both the slides and the video is available for many SOUPS papers.

What to turn in

Submit a PDF version of your slides to Canvas by 23:59 the day of the presentations.

Late policy

• Presentations not delivered in class will receive no credit.
• Late submissions of the slide PDFs may receive a deduction of one letter grade (10 percentage points) per 24 hours.
