Presentations consist of a status report at the end of CS/DATA 396 (typically Fall semester) and a final project presentation at the end of CS/DATA 398 (typically Spring semester).
Status Report (CS/DATA 396)
The status report presentation will be given to a public audience late in the
Fall semester (see the CS-X95 schedule) and should
include the following elements.
- Title slide
- Vision: your "elevator pitch" (see the report)
- What you have accomplished so far (can connect to your objectives)
- How the design norms have shaped your project so far
- Demo of an initial working prototype or preliminary research results
- What you'll work on next semester
Time: 5 minutes per presentation, plus 2-3 minutes for questions and transition.
Work with your advisor to develop this presentation.
Final Project Presentation (CS/DATA 398)
The final project presentation will be given to a public audience late in the
Spring semester (see the CS-X95 schedule). This may
involve participation in a poster session or a full demo and presentation as
appropriate.
- Title slide
- Project overview
- What you accomplished
- Problems encountered and how you overcame them
- How the design norms shaped your project
- Demo of final product or summary of research results and analysis
- Future work
Plan to practice doing this talk for your advisor and/or the course coordinator
as part of the course requirements.
All team members should participate in the final presentation.
