3. THE GOOD
Channel: We conveyed a definite sense of progress. Our presentation showed that we had done a lot of work up until then.
HPV: We did a good job in explaining the process of designing an HPV and the necessary steps to achieve our goals.
MAV: We adapted to the PowerPoint incompatibility situation quickly and kept the presentation itself under 10 minutes
Mars Wind Team: We were able to cover a lot of material in the amount of time we were given.

4. THE GOOD
GLXP: It’s a big topic, and I believe we informed the audience as completely as possible in the time allotted.
PIFAS: Well explained physics
TITAN: “look” of presentation – aesthetic appearance
Panther II: Good transition between speakers

5. THE BAD
Channel: We didn’t have a crystal clear project plan or list of objectives. This is something that we have nailed down as of this document.
Channel: We didn’t show a large amount of calculations. This is simply because there isn’t a terrible amount of math that can be done on channel wings.
HPV: If all of our team members had shown up, we would had a better representation of our group.
MAV: Our presentation could have been clearer; we could have articulated our ideas better.
Mars Wind Team: Perhaps should have had more calculations then what we did have

6. THE BAD
GLXP: We’re still in the early literature review stage so there may not have been a lot that we could definitively state.
PIFAS: Not enough time
TITAN: Clearly we needed more practice, especially with the volume
“Initial results yielded scaling to highly difficult”
Panther II: Needed to show equations

7. EXAMPLE R = force, usually its a F j = mass, usually its a m
q = acceleration in inertia reference frame, usually its an a
Changed each symbol in equation by moving to symbol above it on a keyboard
