I am sending this email to everyone ITC reports to be signed up for CS 615
(Fall 2008).

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/615/projects.html

There are 19 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 Tuesday December 02 and Thursday December
04, with 8 or 9 presentations each day .

        Tuesday December 02, 2pm to 3:25pm (* NOTE ENDING TIME *)

Each presentation slot will be a total of eight (8) minutes. You must
fit your presented material *and* time for questions in those eight
minutes. Plan for 6-7 minutes of talking. 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 02 you must show up *at 3pm* -- not the usual
practice of showing up at 3:05. We will get started immediately. This
is not a drill.

Please send me your desired presentation times. FCFS scheduling. List
multiple options in order when you email me. 

You should use the default presentation computer unless you absolutely
must use your own (e.g., for a brief demo). Put your slides on the
web or email them to me at least 30 minutes before class.

Presentations given on the first date will receive a minor amount of
extra credit to make up for the smaller preparation time.
