Normally, we would do an in-person presentation for students to share their projects. Since the quarter is
online, we will obviously not be having this in-person presentation. Instead, we will ask each group to make a
video presentation that they will submit on Gradescope. Project Part 3 is due on Thursday, March 18 at
21:00 (PDT). For this part, you will need to turn in a video and the slides you produce.
You and your group should prepare a video presenting a slide deck of the highlights of your project.
The slide deck and your presentation should summarize the main points of your report shown in the following list:
- The motivation and any relevant background
- Research questions
- High-level description of your methodology, but you should not dive into the specifics of your Python code
- Summary of key results. Visualizations are particularly helpful here but numerical results are also good.
- Future work. What might you do if you wanted to continue on with this project.
We have the following expectations of your presentation:
- Your presentation should be no longer than 4 minutes long.
- Your slide deck should be no longer than 10 slides long (including the title slide).
- Clearly conveys the information listed above.
- The details of your presentation/artifact should be the most important parts of your project without requiring
all the detail of your code or report. It should be understandable to someone who has not read your report yet.
- If you are working in a group, all group members must present some meaningful aspect of the project during the
video. Additionally, each group member needs to clearly identify themselves when speaking the first time they speak.
- Your video is submitted on some online service like Youtube, Google Drive, or Dropbox. Make sure it is accessible to anyone with the link.
To make the video, you can use CamStudio (Windows only), Quicktime or any other screen recording software (you
can even use Zoom!). You do not need to stand in front of a
projector and record yourself and the slides with a video camera. You can just record what your computer
displays (the slides) and what you say (the oral presentation). If you do use a video camera to record
your presentation, then make sure that the slides are within the view of the video camera. Your video should be
uploaded to some video hosting site like Youtube, Google Drive, or Dropbox where you can share a link to it.
For those working in a group, we have a few possible suggestions for making the video remotely:
- You can record parts of the presentation separately and then have one person splice the videos together using a tool like Windows Movie Maker or Quicktime to make one presentation video.
- You can call on Zoom and record the presentation that way. This is only acceptable as long as the person's voice is clearly audible in the video.
- On Gradescope only one group member needs to submit (and should add their group members to the submission).
- Your slides
- A URL to your video. This could be submitted by making a file (txt or PDF) that has the link. Make sure you have link sharing turned on for your video. You will not receive credit for your video if your TA mentor cannot access it at the link.
