Project Presentations

Each student will be given 20 minutes for a presentation and 10 minutes for handling questions.

Your presentation should include a set of slides (either in PowerPoint or in a single Web page, with suitable spaces between slides. It is requested that you e-mail Professor Carter your slides at least 24 hours prior to the time of your presentation so that he can post them in advance for all students to have a chance to review them prior to the presentation.

NOTE: Slides should not contain large portions of text. The purpose of slides is to provide organization to the ideas that you will be presenting. Thus slides should be relatively sparse. A typical slide with text would have a title for the slide and between 1 and 5 main points. Each point should just use a few words to introduce the idea that you will be discussing. Where you have a slide containing a graphic, it should be preceded with a slide containing a complete and usable alt-text description of the graphic and should be clearly labeled as a being an alternate slide. This alternate slide will not be included in the count of the number of slides discussed below.

You presentation should include:
