P3 Presentation guidelines and suggestions

I have four expectations for the final project presentation:

  1. That you do it and do it conscientiously.
  2. That you not rehash your last progress report
  3. That you not just show your deliverable (we'll do this Friday, 4/25).
  4. That you ask each other intelligent questions.

"So what do we do?"

Here are some suggestions:

  1. Talk about the larger context of your project, if you haven't already. For example, if you're producing something for a company or group, talk about that client or the process of working with him/her.
  2. Talk about the collaboration itself (how did you work together; how did you split up the work; if you're working via email, how well does that work?; if it's going well, why?)
  3. Talk about anything interesting you learned (about writing documentation, about similar projects or existing examples you found, about designing handbooks or brochures).
  4. Compare this project to other client/ service-learning projects.

How long should it be?

Aim for about 5-7 minutes. (Since we have 6 groups, this length will allow time for questions, opening PP files, and so on).
