ECE 459: Presentation and Report Guidelines

• You MUST limit your presentations to 25 minutes. In addition, you will have 5 minutes for questions.
• Please give me a copy of your slides before your talk (this can be done on the day of the talk.)
• Practice your presentation at least once prior to your talk to make sure you can stay within the time limit.
• You may handwrite your slides. Don't put too much on each slide. Try and use pictures and words to explain concepts wherever possible. You certainly don't have time to give all the details -- leave these for the report.
• Your audience should be able to answer the following questions after listening to your presentation:
  (a) What is basic problem area?
  (b) Why is this topic important?
  (c) What ideas do you have for future directions for this work?
  (d) What did you learn from this project?
  
• I will also be giving you credit for participating in your colleagues presentations. Asking intelligent :-) questions and critiquing.
• Your report will consist of your slides, plus explanatory notes and details relevant to the slides. You may also include your notes on relevant material that you spent time studying but could not fit into your presentation.
