See due dates for the exact date of oral presentations. Within a strict fixed time period, you shall sell your project, not only to your supervisor, but to a second “outside” faculty member and to your fellow students. In contrast to the other written deliverables, the oral presentation is a visual performance that requires different skills and attitudes. Your oral presentation will be graded by your supervisor and second reader.

Each individual student is allocated 15 minutes: 10 minutes for a presentation, 3 minutes for questions and 2 minutes for setup. If you are working in a group, group members will be scheduled consecutively. You then have two choices:

1. Each member presents as an individual with his/her allotted time or
2. All members present as a group, lumping all their timeslots together; however, each individual must contribute approximately equally. The choice is yours and your supervisor’s.

For more information about the presentations themselves, consult the FAQ page.

Preparations:

Oral presentations will be held in-person or online as determined by your supervisor and second reader.
