Time limit
The presentation should last 10-15
minutes. We have many groups to
present, so you must be ready to
present at your time slot.
When 10-15 minutes have nearly run
out I will warn you that you only gave a
minute to finish. You must then
conclude.

Failure to present
If you fail to present, you
will get 0.

Computer
You are responsible for checking
that your slides are compatible with
the computer beforehand.
No extra time will be given, and it
will affect your grade if there is a
technical problem before you
present if you are unprepared.

Tips
Practice the presentation beforehand
Have one member of the group control the time
Introduce yourselves
Make sure all your slides are on the computer BEFORE the
presentations start
Keep any text on the slides to a minimum (just key points)
DO NOT read off paper. That will affect your grade. Key points on
paper are acceptable
Keep any videos to a minimum (a couple of minutes maximum)
and ask yourself ... are they really necessary?
