The purpose of the final presentation is to describe the final status of your project. This is your chance to show off what you have done this semester and demo you project. The talk should include most of the following:
As before, the presentations will be held in three sessions. The first session will be on Thursday, 3 May beginning at 9:00 am and should be done by 11:30 am. The second session will be on Friday, 4 May beginning at 9:00 am and should be done by 11:30 am. The third session will be on Friday, 4 May beginning at 1:00 pm and should be done by 3:30 pm. Please limit your presentation to 30 minutes INCLUDING time for questions so we can finish on time.
The entire team is expected to be present for the entire session in which they will present. Everyone is welcome to attend any or all other sessions if desired. (I will provide lunch both days at around 11:30)
Each team should send me the powerpoint file for their presentation by Wednesday, 2 May. I will archive these and include a link to the files in the schedule below.
In addition, each team should turn in a report for your project this semester. Reports are due by the time of your presentation session but no later than 4:30 pm on Friday, 4 May. The requirements for your report are based on the level of x96 you are doing this semester as described here. (You MAY "upgrade" the level of your report if desired). For those projects/teams who have discussed an Incomplete for the x96 projects PRIOR to the final presentations, you may delay your report until we complete the project (hopefully over the summer, but no later than 1 Nov 07), but you will still present in your session below.
For EE 396 and EE 496, please turn in both a hard copy which I will mark up and you can pick up from me after the semester, as well as an electronic copy for my own archives. I will not publish the elctronic copies on the web, but may make them available to future x96 students. For EE 296 reports, an electronic copy of your report is sufficient. Please email the electronic copy to me by the deadline for reports.
IN ADDITION, for each individual who is part of a team, I would like you to evaluate your team and team members, including yourself in a confidential email to me. Give your opinion of your contribution and the contribution of each member of the team to the overall project. This email is due by the day of your presentation. EE 296 reports and the "what you learned" part of EE 396 reports may be combined with this evaluation email.
One more thing... For those Micromice who were not ready for the mini-competition, you will have a chance to show what your mouse can do in the full maze on Saturday, 5 May from 10:00 am to noon. We will hold a second mini-competition at that time as a final demo of your mouse.
