Hold critical friends with enough time for students to implement suggestions and edits
Close enough to presentation date that students and groups feel pressure to be as close to finished as possible
Presentations
Authentic audience- who is the most relevant audience for this problem, product, etc?
Authentic purpose- is what they are making real-world? Is there a way for it to be MORE realistic and non-hypothetical?
Variety in products- what will show this content best?
Student exposure to different media- sometimes requiring a certain product or piece of technology gives students the opportunity to learn something new
Student choice in medium- how can you best show your ideas?
Use of rubrics- which learning outcomes will be assessed? What is the most relevant form of assessment?
Formal event- students take presentations more seriously if they are treated as formal, important events
