Proposal presentations

In the last 1.5 weeks of the course, you will be presenting to the class on one of your two proposals. This starts March 30th, and ends April 6th. John will be organizing the schedule. Your presentation can either be about the proposal you are writing now, or about the one that is already conmplete. If you are presenting on the proposal that was already marked, you can update it based on the comments you received.

The presentations are 10 to 12 minutes long with 3 minutes for questions. After 15 minutes we will have to cut you off due to time constraints. Your presentation should have powerpoint slides to go along with it.

The presentation should be similar to the paper presentations you’ve been doing in tutorial. It should have the following points:

-Why we care about the topic, why it is interesting.

-Necessary background info including big picture

-The questions and hypothesis

-The methods

-The predicted results and implications.

You should weave this into a cohesive presentation, also try to make it look nice.

Proposal two meetings with Greg

To help everyone write the best possible proposals, I am requiring that everyone have a meeting with me to talk about their ideas before they write the proposal. Here is what you need to do:

  1. Do some readings and decide on a question.
  2. Hash out a quick outline of your backgroung, question, methods and results. For example, complete a preproposal like you did for the previous proposal.
  3. Email Greg with a suggested meeting time. The meetings will be 10-30 minutes long, so block out half an hour.
  4. Meet with Greg. We will talk about your ideas and I will make suggestions or ask questions about your ideas to help you clarify your plans.

This is a low stress meeting, you aren’t being graded on it. You must have a meeting by April 1st, so you have time to write the proposal after talking.
