A few points about the presentations:

1. You should aim for your presentation to last around thirty minutes, with five additional minutes for questions from the audience.  In my experience, it’s much easier to plan to say too much that it is to run out of things to say.  If you give a good presentation that lasts 25 minutes, I will not penalize you.
2. Everyone in the group should be part of the presentation.  I won’t try to judge who did more within the group; everyone who presents will get the same grade.  But if you do not participate at all, you will get a zero for the presentation, which is 10% of your course grade. (Exceptions can be made for illness or other excused absence.)
3. If you want to use your own laptop for the presentation, come a little early so we can check that it works with the projector.  As a backup, we can use my laptop. You should bring your slides on a memory stick and/or email me the slides in case we can’t make your computer work.
4. The presentation days are the only days I will be taking attendance.  Attendance on those days will count for 5% of your total course grade.  (Again, exceptions will be made for illness or other excused absence.)
