From: Westley Weimer Subject: CS 615 Final Project Presentation Signup I am sending this email to everyone ITC reports to be signed up for CS 615 (Fall 2007). The vast majority of your CS 615 grade will be based on your final project. Part of your final project is an in-class presentation. http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~weimer/2007-615/projects.html There are ten people signed up to take the course for credit. If you think you are auditing the course and I have you down for credit (or the other way around, or if you plan to drop the course, or whatever) *let me know now*. The presentations will take place on the following three days with three or four presentations each day: Thursday November 29, 2pm to 3:15pm 1. 2. 3. Tuesday December 04, 2pm to 3:25pm (* NOTE ENDING TIME *) 4. Adrienne Felt 5. 6. 7. Thursday December 06, 2pm to 3:15pm 8. 9. 10. Each presentation slot will be a total of 20 minutes. You must fit your presented material *and* time for questions in those 20 minutes. This should be a conference-style presentation: heavy on motivation and introductory material, light on details. You should practice your presentation multiple times. See the speech evaluation form (which your classmates be using to evaluate you) for more ideas or come talk to me. Part of your project grade comes from your evaluations of the other speakers; you may not skip the other presentations and just show up to give yours (even though that happens in real life, sigh). Bring a pen since you'll be filling out forms. On Tuesday December 04 you must show up *at 2pm* -- not the usual practice of showing up at 2:05. We will get started immediately. Please send me your desired presentation times. FCFS scheduling. If you send me your PPT or PDF presentation 30 minutes before class or make it available on the web you can use the default presentation computer (recommended) and my remote clicker. Otherwise you must bring your own laptop and joust with ITC cabling. Presentations given on the first date will receive a minor amount of extra credit to make up for the smaller preparation time. - Wes
