Guidelines for Presentations
There are two formats of presentations for the SE seminar:
- The short format: 15-20 minutes presentation
with 5 minutes Q&A.
- The long format: 25-30 minutes presentation
with 10 minutes Q&A.
The initial/preliminary presentations are usually in
the short format. The final presentations must be in the long format. The
initial presentation should include the following:
- Problem definition: what are you studying or
developing?
- Background: why is it important? what has been
done and by whom?
- Detailed plan: what are your deliverables and time frame
for completion?
The final presentation should include the following:
- Problem: what have you studied or developed?
- Results: what have you accomplished?
- Demo, if applicable
- Discussions: what are the significance and advantages/disadvantages
of your results?
- Conclusion and future work.
All presentations must use either PowerPoint or StarOffice
slides. To schedule a presentation, a title and 200-300 words abstract in
HTML must be received by the instructor two weeks in advance. The presentation
slides must be received by the instructor 48 hours before the scheduled presentation,
or the presentation will be canceled.
You should practice and time your presentation, so
that it will not exceed the time limit.
