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:

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.

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.
