Project Presentation
Your final deliverable consists of three parts:
- Turn in your timesheet on Learning Suite. Each hour needs a one-sentence description of what you worked on. (~70% of project grade)
- Prepare and record a presentation summarizing your project. (~20% of project grade)
- Watch 5 other project presentations and provide peer reviews. (~10% of project grade)
You will record a 10-minute max presentation (15-minutes max for a group of 2) and make it available to the class via a link on a private online spreadsheet. Any format is fine (slides, notebooks, etc.). The presentation will be peer-reviewed based on the following rubric (I will incorporate category weights when averaging all the peer reviews, you will just grade based on the numeric categories):
- Motivation (15%)
- 5: Clearly defines the problem, provides context, and explains significance.
- 4: Mostly clear but missing some background details.
- 3: Vaguely explains the problem; lacks motivation.
- 2: Problem is unclear; little to no motivation provided.
- 1: No explanation of the problem or why it matters.
- Methods (25%)
- 5: Uses appropriate methods and best practices. Explains approach with technical rigor (e.g., model architecture, loss functions, training details).
- 4: Mostly solid work, but some minor methodological gaps.
- 3: Workable but lacking depth or has noticeable gaps.
- 2: Basic or incomplete implementation.
- 1: Major flaws or lack of effort in methodology.
- Results (40%)
- 5: Presents results with clear visualizations, proper metrics, and insightful interpretation. Clearly meets or exceeds scope.
- 4: Good results, but missing some explanation or comparisons.
- 3: Results shown but not well-analyzed or too basic.
- 2: Limited results or analysis, weak presentation of findings.
- 1: Essentially no meaningful results or analysis.
- Presentation (20%)
- 5: Presentation is well-structured, logically organized, and easy to follow.
- 4: Mostly clear, but some minor issues.
- 3: Somewhat disorganized or difficult to follow at times.
- 2: Lacks clear structure; jumps between topics.
- 1: Presentation is confusing or hard to follow with no logical flow.
