3. Ch. Eick Project 1COSC 6335 2014 Ch. Eick Project2 Presentations and Grading Each presentation has 11 minutes—not shorter not longer! One group member of each group will serve as judge, evaluating the presentations of the other groups. The other 2/3 group members need to participate in the presentation. In general, students will judge themselves together with Wellington. All group member (except those who serve as judges) must participate in the presentation Presentations count about 30% towards the Project3 grade and will be judged based on: Content (does the presentation have a clear story/message to tell? Scientific Quality? Is the project technically sound?) Weight=2 Topic (is the topics interesting?) Weight=1 Form (is the presentation understandable, quality of slide, quality on how the content was delivered) Weight=2 Time Management (did the group wisely use the available time; was the presentation too short/long) Weight=1 Scoring System: 1-10 (10 is outstanding; 1 is very very poor; the expected average score for such events is typically between 6 and 7; moreover, ‘-’ abstain should be chosen, when evaluating your own group and if having a ‘true’ conflict of interest with respect to presenters of another group. 5% of the score is allocated to the 2-page progress report The remaining 60% of the project will be evaluated based on (using the same 1-10 scale) Technical Quality and Content of the Project (weighted by 3) Amount of Work Form and Quality of the report Interestingness of the chosen topic Dr. Eick will grade the Project2 Reports 3
