ISU570 - Student Project Presentations - April 10th and 14th, 2009
Professor Futrelle -
College of Computer & Information Science, Northeastern U., Boston, MA
Version of April 1, 2009
The Project Presentations
- Half the students will present on the 10th, the other half on the 14th
- The two lists of students are on this page, below
- Each presentation is limited to six minutes
- You will come to the front of the class to talk - you can borrow my laser pointer
- You must send 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 six to ten slides - the upper limit of ten 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, else the students who follow you will be forced to rush through a shortened talk
- 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
- The subjects you used to supplement your opinions or analysis
- What you discovered
- What you learned from doing the project
You must use technical terminology in your slides and talk - all the students will be familiar with it.
