Weekend Planning for Practice Presentation

With the final presentation of out IQP fast approaching next Thursday, this weekend was largely dedicated to its planning. We first met on Saturday to begin laying out the outline of all of the topics our presentation needed to cover in order to fully convey the importance, scope and results of our work from the last two terms. The obvious choice was to base our current presentation on the one we had given at the end of D-term ID2050, while adding and heavily emphasizing the findings and results from our execution of the project plan this term. Due to the fact that the scope and goals of our project have nothing to do with the current goals and scope of the project, we had to re-work much of our background information and explanation of our project to address how our project changed.

After dividing remaining work amongst the group members, we convened our meeting to finish making slides individually. On Sunday we reconvened to put our slides together and practice our presentation together for the first time. This gave us the opportunity to begin ironing our flaws and informational inadequacies before our first test presentation to our advisers on Monday.
