Preparation

Finish your course project.

Write your final report.

Prepare your visuals and rehearse your talk.

Final Project Report

Every team must submit final project documentation;
these reports are due Thursday May 18, 2000, 9:10am.

The reports should address pretty much the same issues that are listed for the "Final Project Presentations" below.
Obviously a lot of material (such as figures) can be used for both purposes. But please turn your "bulleted PowerPoint slides" into textual paragraphs and add more technical details, such as mathematical derivations, crucial code fragments, or detailed construction drawings (as applicable).

Please bring a hardcopy of your report to the presentation session, so that I can make annotations on it during your talk.
The typical report should be between 5 and 10 pages long.

You are encouraged to make your report visible on the Web, so that I can link to it and let other people enjoy the fruits of your work.

Final Project Presentations

Single-person projects get 12 minutes,

Two-person projects get 15 minutes,

The following points should be addressed:

What the project is all about:
- title, authors, general goal(s);
- perhaps a conceptual picture of desired result (from proposal presentation).
Original scope and hopes:
- what did you originally hope to achieve ?
- what was originally promised ?
Accomplishments:
- what has actually been achieved ?
- what unexpected problems have been encountered ?
- how did you (try to) overcome them ?
Demos, evaluation of results:
- show your fabricated parts, demo your program.
- show some of the special tricks you needed to use.
- discuss strengths and weaknesses of the approach taken.
- what would you do differently, if you could "rewind the clock" ?
Concluding remarks:
- what is the (lasting?) contribution of your project ?
- what have you learned in this project ?
