Final project presentation
Final project presentation
- Instructions:
- Prepare slides for a presentation of around 20 minutes. Divide the presentation among the team members. Each of you should present for a similar amount of time.
- Take a look at the grading guidelines below.
- Some personal tips:
- Practice: make sure your presentation is well timed.
- Pay attention to transitions between slides: think about what you will say when you move from one slide to the next.
- Your first and last slides are the most important ones:
- explain the problem / the goal
- do not end with a slide that says "Questions?" - everybody knows there are questions after a talk.

- 10:30: Morwenna, Hana, Max
