• PRESENTATION:
  • There are two presentation dates.
    • First presentation:

      • Date: 13/01/2020
      • Time: 15:00-18:00
      • Place: Room 403 at Liivi 2

    • Second presentation:

      • Time: 15:00-18:00
      • Place: Room 122 at Liivi 2

  • To present on the first date you need to have results already. Methods and expected results are not enough. If you have no results yet (due to lack of GPU time for example), you need to postpone the presentation to the second date.
  • You will have 10 min for the presentation and a few minutes for questions. You should limit your slides to fit into that time. No posters needed.
  • If you want and your project allows you to, you can do a demo.

Points

The project gives up to 40 points of your final grade:

• 20 for the content.
• 10 for the appearance and structure of the blog.
• 10 for final presentation.
• However, the intermediate milestones are a wonderful way to lose points - if you fail to deliver or they are not thorough enough, you will be penalized.
• By default, all members of a group get the same amount of points. If you have complaints about a team member inform your supervisor immediately. Also, before starting, choose well who you work with (do not take freeloaders) . It is mandatory to put a section in your blog who did what.
