Detailed instructions
Aim for the presentation itself to take about 6 minutes (allowing 3 minutes for Q&A: next item)
Afterwards, be prepared to answer questions from your peers and the instructor
At least some of your presentation should be given using slides. Optionally, you could switch to VS Code, RStudio, and/or GitHub for part of your presentation to show or even demo parts of your final project.
Start with general background about the data / research project, and an overview of the goals of your final project
It is up to you if you would like to show some of your code line-by-line, or stick to a more high-level overview of what you’ve done
You are not expected to have finished your project, but you are expected to have made significant progress since you submitted your draft (checkpoint 2)
At the end of the presentation, mention what you still want to do before your final submission. If you’ve used your own data in your final project, then you may also want to mention what additional things you’ll want to do after the course ends.
As you can see in the rubric above, you are also expected and will be graded on asking other students questions about their presentations
