Final Presentation Schedule

CS263 final project presentations will take place during class on Thursday, 12/15/05 and Tuesday, 12/20/05. All students are expected to attend both days.

Each project group will prepare a 10 minute presentation outlining your project and presenting initial results. Following each presentation we will have 5 minutes for questions and to switch to the next group. The presentation format is intended to resemble a "work in progress" session at a research conference, in which individuals are given an opportunity to present a brief overview of a new and exciting project. We do not expect that you will have completed your project by this date, but you should include a summary of the status of your project as well as what your expected outcome will be.

Presentation format: Please prepare a short presentation in PowerPoint or PDF format. You should use no more than 5 slides total in your talk. Only one project member needs to give the presentation, but you are welcome to "tag team" if you like. Please time yourselves and be sure that your talk will exceed no more than 10 minutes ... we will "gong" any talk that goes over time.

The goal of your presentation is not to explain everything that you have done, but rather to get the main points across in a short time. Above all, you should make your talks fun and interesting. Of course, this does not mean the talk should not have any technical depth. All talks will be graded on clarify, style, technical content, and whether it stays on time.

Please email your presentation slides to cs263-reviews@eecs by 11:59pm the day before your presentation. We will load all slides onto one laptop so that switching between presentations will go smoothly.
