Assignment

  • Think of this as a draft of your final project presentation but without major results.
  • We expect that you have completed 50% of the project.
  • The target audience for this presentation is your classmates. This means that you might not need to repeat the full motivation from your Project Plan Presentations, but might need to re-establish some context.
  • Provide a complete picture of your project even if certain key parts have not yet been implemented/analyzed/solved.
  • We grade based on the quality, as well as the completion of sections described on the next slide.
  • You will submit a pre-recorded video presentation of at most at most 10 min 0 seconds. Narrated slides are perfectly fine. We don’t expect high production value, but we expect you to stay within 10 min.
  • Each presentation will be followed by Q&A and peer feedback.
  • Reminder: Now is a good time to start planning for your final report writing as well.

  5. [2 slides recommended] How will you tell whether or not you were successful? How will you evaluate your approach? Consider construct, internal and external validity. What are key limitations of your data and approach?
  6. What do you plan to have accomplished by the end of the project? Are there any remaining risks for your project and what are you doing to address these?
  7. [new - 2 slides recommended] Related work: Briefly highlight at least two research papers that are related in questions or data or approach. How is your approach similar or different? (We do expect any novelty of your approach, but simply a reflection on how your project relates to others.)
