Tomorrow (Thursday, May 19th 2022) there will be no class as I am away.
We understand that you have had several course projects which are all coming to completion at the end of the semester. To lessen the burden, we are going to spread out the project presentations and grading in this course, but we cannot afford to spread them into deep summer or even the fall. Therefore, unless you have a good reason for postponing the completion of your project to a later date (which you should discuss with the lecturer ahead of time), you should plan to finish by the end of the spring exam period (mid July).
However, the presentations will take place in the following three weeks, from 14:00 to 17:00, for all projects:
- Thursday, May 26th 2022
- Thursday, June 2nd 2022
- Thursday, June 9th 2022
(If these clash with exams, please let me know.)
Choose a slot for your presentation here. Only one project member should do this! People who are finished or almost finished should sign up for an earlier date.
You will present projects, even if they are not finished. This will be a good opportunity to discuss what precisely needs to done for successful completion, if anything, and how to resolve remaining problems. We recommend the following structure of your presentation:
- About 10 minutes long.
- All project participants should speak. It is up to you to decide who will present what.
- We recommend the following outline of the presentation:
- brief description of the topic
- outline of the formalization
- what obstacles were encountered and how they were overcome (or not)
- what remains to be done
The original project descriptions were mostly quite extensive. It is not necessary for you to do everything that was planned, but you should find a good stopping point and estimate how much you can do, given your time constraints, i.e., finishing at the latest by mid July. We shall then agree on what you will do, or whether you are already finished. Expected grades shall be discussed privately.
