Please make a zoom recording to the cloud of your 10 minute presentation. Please email me the link that zoom will provide to you, no later than Fri 22 Nov (with no passcode please: the recording will be behind the CU firewall).

Note that your presentation in class will be 5 minutes (not 10) of presentation, followed by 5 minutes of q&a, for a total of 10 minutes.

Each presentation will have 3 reviewers, who will have primary responsibility for asking questions in the q&a portion of the in-class presentation. Please email me which 3 projects you would like to review no later than Fri 15 Nov. Your choices will be posted here. First come first served.

The Project will be graded according to rubric on the syllabus.
