CS295-5 Project presentation information
Overview
Each PI will be responsible for presenting their proposal in class on
10/5, 10/7, or 10/12. Presentation times are listed below. These
classes will run from 2:30 until 4. If at all possible, please try to
arrange to be able to stay through 4pm. Please also be on time and
prepared to give your presentation promptly.
Guidelines for presentation
You will have 6 minutes for your presentation. You will not have time
for a detailed description of your project. Your goal should be to
motivate the project well enough that the reviewers will get the big
picture and understand how the participants will work together to
solve the project. A short list of the milestones for the project
would also be appropriate.
Make sure that you:
- state the problem
- state your hypothesis or approach
- explain the process you'll go through during the project
- describe the milestones you'll achieve
- list the participants and their roles
Practice your presentation. Give it to your friends and make sure
that they understand it. Pay attentino to the parts that seem to
require a lot of explanation and refine them. You'll find that you
get better at explaining the big picture as you try to do so with
different people and at different times. Pay attention to being
brief. If you don't need to explain something to get the big picture
across, leave it out. Practice while you're in line for lunch. The
explanations should be understandable to someone who can read a
Scientific American article. Practice with our Rhetoric Fellow, Tim
Perry, and incorporate his suggestions.
The second 6 minutes in each presentation slot will be for questions
and feedback from the audience and the reviewers. The presentation is
an opportunity for you to get feedback on your proposal from the same
people who will be reviewing it in a few weeks and making the funding
decisions. Listen to the feedback. Write it down. Take it home and
think about it as you revise your proposal.
Schedule and reviewers
The schedule below was created randomly. Reviewers are listed in
parentheses. Please review proposals before presentation time and
bring your questions and comments to the presentation. Written
reviews are due to be both handed in and e-mailed to proposal
author by end of day 10/12/99.
