Some "Meta-Skills" for Continued Success at UC Berkeley

Good Project Presentations!

Clear story lines; beautiful images!

Elevator Speeches . . .

Keep it short and inspiring. Don't try to summarize all aspects of your project.
Mention something that personally got you inspired. Avoid technical details.

Project Report still to be done (Due Dec. 11, 2017).

Summarize in 2 to 4 pages the issue you studied in your project and your most important findings.
