Rules for Technology Presentations

• Your presentation should be 15 minutes, plus 2-3 minutes for questions.
• Make sure that you include enough details for us to understand what you are talking about but don't include *all* details. You have 15 minutes for the entire thing. Use it wisely.
• Try to relate your presentation to the topics we cover in class. Is it an alternative to something we covered in class? Which problem does it solve, etc.
• Practice your timing before the presentation.
• Right *before* your presentation, turn in your report as hard copy. Make sure that you write the report yourself and don't copy paste from other sources. Even if you give references, cutting and pasting from another resource is considered cheating. I apply this rule strictly.
• If your topic is on comparing something (payment systems, application servers, etc.) make sure that you select what you want to compare first and talk to me about them. You can also make a list of interesting entities and then we can make the selection together.
• Contact your partner early. If you cannot reach your partner for some reason, please let us know immediately.
