In all of the above courses, you will be asked to present the status or progress of your work in an oral presentation. Depending on how far you are, you need to give (just) one of three presentations:
- a "starter presentation", showing what the project is about and what the first steps are going to be (15min duration), or
- a "current status presentation " showing what has happened so far and what the next steps are (20min duration), or
- a "finish presentation ", presenting the results and wrapping up the project (30min duration).
All three presentations should include at most 5min for questions and answers (leaving the respective times for the presentation as at least 10min for the start, 15min for the intermediate, and 25min for the finish talks).
Dates and times are fixed individually with your supervisor.
