Marking Scheme for Paper Presentations

               Total (/25)      %
all 1's 5 60
all 2's 10 70
all 3's 15 80
all 4's 20 90
all 5's 25 100

Thus, it is impossible to get below 60% when doing a paper presentation (unless you don't show up!). The formula for this calculation is:

        (x - 5) * 2 + 60

where x is the mark out of 25.

Other students' evaluations are worth 35% of your grade and the instructor's evaluation is worth 65%.

The presentation is worth 20% of your overall grade. Writing good comments to help presenters learn how to improve their presentations is part of your participation mark. (Your comments will remain anonymous.)

Format of Paper Presentations

Presentations are to be 20 minutes in length followed by 5 minutes of question. This limit will be STRICTLY adhered to (i.e., you will asked to stop at 20 minutes no matter where you are in your presentation).

You can use my laptop for your presentation. If you wish to do so, your presentation must be in .pdf or .ppt. If you have a very new version of .ppt, you should check with me for compatibility.
