             NOTES FOR CSE497-8 PRESENTATIONS

Groups may consist of 1-3 students.  

There will be two presentations during the academic year, one for CSE497, and one for CSE498. The presentations will be held towards the end of each semester.

Your work will be graded by a jury of lecturers and assistants. 

The allocated time for each group in the presentations will be as follows:                        
                        CSE497        : 15 min. (10 min. presentation, 5 min. questions)
                        CSE498        : 15 min. (10 min. presentation, 5 min. questions)

The groups will be noticed one minute prior to the expiration of their time. Groups exceeding their time will lose marks. A group that requires additional time for tasks such as running a program has to apply to the Coordinator at least one week before the presentation. 

Group members who do not attend the presentation will get zero.

Presentations will be in English language.

All group members have to speak in the presentations.

The CSE497 presentation will be a summary of the “Progress Report” you are supposed to prepare. The presentation should contain the following information:
     * Definition of the problem and brief description of the project
     * Software & hardware platforms used
     * Tasks accomplished 
     * Alternative methods (if applicable)
     * Difficulties encountered
     * Tasks to be completed in the second semester

CSE498 presentation is supposed to report on projects that are completed or close to completion. They should have the following information:
     * Definition of the problem and brief description of the project
     * Software & hardware platforms used
     * Tasks accomplished 
     * Methods used (if applicable)
     * Alternative methods (if applicable)
     * Performance study (if applicable)
     * Difficulties encountered and how they are solved (or unsolved)
     * Info about whether the project is totally completed or not
     * The skills and knowledge acquired.

The jury will mark the group according to the quality of the verbal and written presentation as well as the quality and completeness of the project. Since all group members will have the same mark, it is important to demonstrate your work as a team product. The criteria for marking will be as follows (each item will have equal weight):
     * Ability of the group members to express their points
     * Quality of the slides
     * The perception of the level of knowledge acquired by the group members by making the project.
     * The aim of the presentation is ...
     * To evaluate the projects in broader terms by a jury, thereby increasing the likelihood of an objective marking
     *  To make the students acquire the skills for presentation techniques and speaking to an audience.

The number of presentation slides should be between 10 and 15 The first two and the last slides should contain the following:

     * First slide: Name of the team member(s), advisor with his/her academic title, name of the project
     * Second slide: Agenda
     * Last slide: References.

It is a good idea to explain your point in your own words during the presentation. Do not simply read the slide contents as everyone in the audience can do that.
