Final Project

12 Exciting Final Projects

Guidelines: Final Project Presentation

The final presentations will be on 05/26 & 05/28 during our regular class time. All presentations will be live and should be 12 mins long with 3 mins for Q&A. In the event that a project group cannot present live, please let the instructor know asap or latest by Thursday - 5/21.

The presentation should include all of the following:

1. Title, Authors/Presenters

2. Motivation/Background (why should the audience care?)

3. Research Objective (what is the specific goal of the work? why is it important?)

4. Data Description (use text and visuals - this is a good place for your exploratory analysis)

5. Methodology (think flowchart if there are multiple steps, give grounded rationale for the approach taken)

6. Results

7. Limitations/Challenges (including how you would address these in future work)

8. Top learning from the project experience

9. References (on appropriate slides)

Other things to consider:

• This presentation is 10% of your final grade. The grading scale is as follows: A+ (100%), A- (94%), B+ (88%), B- (82%), C (76%), C- (70%), Less than C-.

• There will be guests in class to listen in and assess the work you have done.

• You are the authors of the paper, the researchers behind the work, and the experts on the topic. Make sure to present accordingly.

• You are not graded based on whether you achieved good/bad results, instead you are graded on the soundness of your approach, knowledge of the space, and ability to communicate the work.

• Use good presentation practice (for example: slides should not be too busy with text and/or visuals, figures should be legible with clear axis labels and legends, etc.)

• There is a strict time limit. It is a good idea to practice your talk before hand.

• Have fun!
