Oral presentation
Final project - checkpoint II
You are expected to give a short individual oral presentation about your final project during one of the Zoom sessions in week 7. [15 points]
A few pointers:
Aim for the presentation itself to take about 8 minutes – the acceptable range is 6-10 minutes.
Afterwards, be prepared to answer questions from your peers and the instructor. (You’re also expected to ask other students one or more questions after their presentations.)
Prepare at least several slides. Your entire presentation can be given using slides, but you can also show your repository or scripts, or even do a demo, as part of the presentation.
Start with general background about the data / research project, and an overview of the goals of your final project.
You can decide if you would like to run us through some of your code line-by-line, or stick to a more high-level overview of what you’ve done.
You are not at all expected to have finished your project, but you are expected to have made significant progress since the proposal.
At the end of the presentation, mention what you still need to do. If you’ve used your own data in your final project, then you may also want to mention what additional things you’ll want to do after the course ends.
What you will be graded on:
- Technical content [3 points]
- Contextualization [3 points]
- Delivery [3 points]
- Clarity [3 points]
- Questions for other students [3 points]
