Guidelines for Sr. Project Oral Presentations READ CAREFULLY AS THESE GUIDELINES HAVE CHANGED FROM ME 476

Report purpose Senior Project presentations serve a number of purposes, including:

x Eliciting verbal feedback from your instructor and peers.

x Allowing the instructor to evaluate (grade) the team’s progress.

x Providing a project update for your faculty advisor and sponsor mentor. Note: Your slides will be emailed to these individuals, so the slides must be able to stand alone in conveying the report information. (So, for example, be sure to including supporting text bulleted list items.)

x Generating discussion with other teams. You will be giving your presentation to the class. Use your peers’ feedback and questions to help you complete your project.

Slide preparation instructions

x Use the bold headings in the CONTENT section of the rubric as the slide titles (e.g. your first slide should be titled “Project Description”)

x There is no maximum to the number of slides you can use, but your team must still abide by the time limit.

x Each slide should include a footer with MAXIMUM TWO presenters’ names, date, and project name & number.

x Bring your presentation to class on a USB flash drive (or other method that will allow for quick loading onto the classroom computer). Save your presentation to the desktop before exiting it.

Presentation attendance requirements

x All students must attend presentations and provide feedback to their peers. No electronic devices are allowed during the presentations. Please be respectful of your peers when they are speaking to the class.

x If you are asked to leave the presentations due to disrespect, your individual grade will be penalized for that day’s presentation.
