Presentations

For the progress and practice presentations, you must send me your slides by email (at least) 1 hour before class. For the final presentations, you must send me your slides by email (at least) by 18:00 the evening before the presentation, so I can make them available to the other participants ahead of time.

I will assume each group will bring their own laptop for their presentations. Before each presentation, you should agree in advance which member of your group is going to bring a laptop and who will be talking or giving demos. One of you should also be prepared to take runnung notes (on paper or laptop) of the feedback I give you.

Practice your presentations with a stopwatch or alarm clock, so that you get the timing right. The schedule is sometimes tight, and if you overrun, the faciliator will have to cut you off. This is usually not pleasant.
