ELCT 402 10/19/2010 • Final Presentation: What we expect • Ch 15: Visuals • Ch 17: Presentations • Subsystem Demos • Rehash of System Characterization
Final Presentation: Grading • Speaking Personality: How engaged are you with your audience, how comfortable are you with your information • Presentation Aids: Are your visuals meaningful? Do they help or hinder? • Presentation organization: Logical Flow of information • Techincal Content: Do you understand what you’re talking about? How in-depth was your analysis?
Final Presentation • Substantiate your design choices • Are they robust or cursory? Do you understand your circuits? • Demonstrate new knowledge • How comfortable are you with new information • Can you teach yourself? • Thought-out presentation • Transitions between ideas • Logical flow of ideas, that we can understand your entire design process

Visuals: Ch. 15 • Do they convey more information than words? • Does the formatting present itself to knowledge? (Graphs, Equations) • How much time should you spend discussing a visual? • Schematics: Can you explain the circuit?
Presentations: Ch. 17 • “Say Something” • Don’t say what everyone already knows; Explain what is unique • Organization • Does the flow of ideas build on itself: Start top-down, work into the details • Delivery • Eye contact • Familiarity with information • Familiarity with your own content
Subsystem Demonstrations • Prepare as a presentation • Be sure it’s working the nightbefore. Not the day of! Get together with your team and discuss how and what you want to present, then group leader share this with the class (from your seat)
Discussion • What Visuals are used (if any)? • Is there a logical flow? • Does each idea discussed lead to the demonstration • Is there a greater-than-cursory knowledge of the system? • Were multiple options investigated? • Why did you make these design decisions
System Characterization: Don’t Get a Bad Grade! • Design: Design an Experiment! • Give consideration to problems • Make good measurements using reliable instruments • Conduct: Carry It Out! • You do not introduce unquantified errors when you measure • Analysis: Explain the Data from your Experiment! • How does this deviate from a theoretical model (You must create a theoretical model). • Presentation of Results: “Say Something” • Meaningful charts, figures; properly visually formatted
