Score breakdown There will be 2 parts to your score of 20: /10 Presentation skills How professional you are as a group? How interesting your presentation is? Do you read like a robot or speak with emphasis? Did you prepare? How good is your timekeeping? How are the slides you prepared (if any)? /10 Relevance to the chosen title -How much information relevant to the chosen title is there? -Is there any new information in there? -Does it recap parts of the course?

Time limit The presentation should last 10 minutes. We have many groups to present, so you must be ready to present at your time slot. When 10 minutes has nearly run out I will warn you that you only gave a minute to finish. You must then conclude.

Tips Practice the presentation beforehand Have one member of the group control the time Introduce yourselves Make sure all your slides are on the computer BEFORE the presentations start at 9.30am Keep any text on the slides to a minimum (just key points) DO NOT read off paper. That will affect your grade. Key points on paper are acceptable Prezi.com is a good alternative to PowerPoint that can produce professional looking slides Keep any videos to a minimum (a couple of minutes maximum) and ask yourself ... are they really necessary?
