Presentations and online pages for the last week

Presentations (in-class teams) and online pages (online teams) should be brief summaries of useful experiences from the course projects. The presentation for in-class teams should last about 20 minutes per team. The online page for online teams should be about 1 or 2 screenfuls in length.

The goal of the presentation or online page is to provide other students with useful, generalizeable lessons from your experience. Ideally, I'd like to use some of the presented content as questions for the final exam.

The presentation is not formally graded, but contribution to the presentation can help your contribution score.

Contents

You may include anything you like in your presentation or online page that is related to your projects. I recommend the following components:

• The general idea of your project (5 minutes or 1 paragraph).
• An important, perhaps surprising, finding obtained from one of your research methods (5 minutes or 1 paragraph).
• A useful lesson learned from conducting the methods (5 minutes or 1 paragraph). It might be one of the following types:
• What you would do differently if you were to conduct this method in the future.
• What kind of information this method produced.
• What was particularly difficult about this method.
• Situations when this method would not be useful.
• How much time this method took.

Format

There is no specific format. In-class presentations may be done as a group or one individual may represent the whole team. Presentation materials may be used (e.g. powerpoint slides, figures) but are not required. The online page may be submitted using any common format (e.g. HTML, Word, PDF).
