Requirements:
Each team will elect a team leader and the team leader will be communicating
with me directly.

The team leader will email or see me during my office hours to propose your
project. Get my approval before you move forward. The deadline to pick a topic is
​ ​ 2018​​. ​If I don’t hear from your team, I will assign a
Friday, November 2​nd​
random topic for your team.

To make sure your team does not get off track, the team leader will need report
​ ​ 2018.
the progress to me on or before ​Friday, November 16​th​

Time requirements:
The presentation is ​20 minutes​​ long for each team with an additional ​3 minutes
for questions. Everyone in the team must present in roughly equal time.

Here are some rules of thumb for your presentations:

1. Introduce members of your team.
2. Assume the audience knows very little about the topic, no detail is too
small.
3. Make eye contact with the audience.
4. Do not read from the slides or your note cards.
5. Speak up so the audience can hear you.
6. Slow down and breath, you tend to talk fast when you are nervous.
7. No slides with text less than 24-point font.
8. The presentation can include a demo.
9. Practice, practice, practice.

Submission:
Upload a PowerPoint slides to Western Online Assignments no later than 1pm on
​ ​ 2018.
Monday, December 3​rd​

I will schedule presentations on the following days:

Monday, December 3​rd​ ​ ​ 2018.
Wednesday, December 5​th​ ​ ​ 2018.
​ ​ 2018.
Friday, December 7​th​

Grading:
Your grade will be based on the content of your presentation and peer review
from your team members. I will provide a form for peer review on a later date.
