The Project Presentations

• The presentations will be on Monday, April 6th
• If we run over on Monday, the last few presentations can be done on Wednesday the 8th
• The order of presentations is listed below
• Each presentation is limited to six minutes (6 x 15 = 90 minutes, the class duration)
• You will come to the front of the class to talk - you can borrow my laser pointer
• You must sent Professor Futrelle the file you want displayed on the screen, PowerPoint or Keynote
• He must receive your file 24 hours before your talk (he'll check immediately to make sure they work on his MacBook)
• Start with a title slide that has your project title, your name, the course, and the date
• Your talk should include a total of five to seven slides
  The upper limit of seven assumes that some are simple, e.g, a single screenshot
• Each slide should be reasonably simple - don't force the viewer to read hundeds of word
• Use figures - These could be photos, screenshots or data - Some portion of the slide will serve as the caption
• I will run the slides - just tell me when to put up the next slide
• Speak for five minutes, leaving one minute for questions (I'll give you a warning at 4 minutes)
• Stick to the time limits
• Practice your talk in advance to get your presentation smoothed out and time it

Sugggested outline for your talk:

• Your goals - What your project attempts to show, explain, investigate
• How you went about your project work - what you did
• What you finally accomplished
• What you learned from doing the project

You must use technical AI terminology in your slides and talk - all the students will be familiar with it.
