E. Scheduling of the Groups for Defense / Presentation
1. The number of time slots is based on the number of groups who will defend / present. The presentation /
defense is scheduled on a Friday or Saturday. Since the Practicum Adviser must also be present during the

5.

The panel members must use the appropriate evaluation forms which are provided by the coordinator.

6. In the turn of century policy, there is no minimum grade for the presentation and the paper . The

grade. Thus to compute for the defense grade, the Panel chair shall follow the same procedure of averaging
the scores of the two panelists for the assessment paper and oral presentation portions. The grade for the
assessment of the Venture Paper Presentation is computed as 15 % on oral, and 25% on written document.
