The team should be able to set up their presentation within 2 min, so test in advance.
Presentation Assessment
The presentation format should be formal (excluding the dressing code). Computer aided presentation (e.g., PowerPoint). The evaluators of the presentation are the instructor and every team in this class. The presentation will be assessed based on the following criteria:
Introduction
- An introduction is intended for generating interest in the audience and setting the scene for the details that follow.
- Organization in both the contents and the way in which the project is presented
- Too much detail distracts the audience, so focus on important aspects and issues.
- The development should be understandable, well sequenced, logical and relevant.
Visual support - Well chosen and produced slides, demos (in terms of format, style, contents and understandability)
- Conclusion
- The presentation should end with a conclusion that gives a summary about the key points covered.
- The presentation should stress the positive aspects while report limitations.
Attitude - The presenter should not be distracted, hesitant
- He/she should address and look at the audience, react to them.
- The tone should be lively and clear.
- He/she should also finish on time.
Questions - The presenter should prompt for questions, and provide confident answers.
Presentation Participation
Everyone in the class is required to attend the presentation and arrive on time except of previously excused absence. Failing to attend the presentation, the individual will receive a zero grade for his/her project presentation. Arriving the class after the first presentation starts, 25% of the project presentation grade will be deduced from the individual's grade.
