Guidelines for Presentation of Group Project and VDO clip (Presentation & Q&A = 10%) 1. Each group must make presentation slides and one video clip for the whole project (both first & second phase) with total maximum 30 minutes. All members must contribute to the presentation. At the beginning of the video clip, each student must show up face and introduce oneself. 2. Include student’s name in the bottom right corner of each slide to indicate the person who makes that specific slide. 3. Submission date: March 2, 2021 (Tuesday) by 8:00 p.m. via [email protected]

Important issues for presentation slides & VDO clip: • Bullet points – not wordy • Tables with highlighted on important issues • All group members must participate in the presentation. • Try to allocate the number of slides among group members equally. • Make professional presentation (i.e. not allow to read the notes or communication devices, have eye contact with video recorder) • Make sure all group members can answer all information you put in the report and slides. • Full AU uniform or polite dress Q&A session will be arranged according to the following schedule. 1. March 4, 2021 (Thursday): Group 1 (class time) 2. March 9, 2021 (Tuesday): Group 2 (class time) 3. March 11, 2021 (Thursday): Group 3 (class time) ** Only the assigned group attends the Q&A session** Examples of comments from previous semesters Presentation: - Good presentation skills - Good English speaking, clear pronunciation - Loud voice — build-in speaker - Have eye contact with me -

Read the script or the report Spend longer than allowed time Not balance among topics & group members Low voice — can use microphone Nervous, excited, not confidence during presentation Voice in the throat — say out louder

Slides: - Beautiful — put efforts on that - Good to show graph (with trend) - Good to include pictures - Bullet points — know what you did and can present -

Need to check consistency — format, font Very wordy — dump all info. from report into slides 3

Important issues for Q&A session: - All members must prepare documents (slides, excel, report, academic papers etc.) and be ready to show during Q&A sessions to support your answers. - All members must turn on camera & microphone and be ready to answer when I ask questions. - Score is based on the quality of the answers. As of February 1, 2021
