Andrew is not currently teaching IAT-102. This material is left online for reference only.
Introduction
To practice presenting you will be showcasing your process and final outcome from P2: Layout.
P3: Presenting is done in teams of two, and is worth 10% of your final grade.
Weekly instructions
This project spans multiple weeks. Please read the weekly instructions carefully.
From Oct 25 to Nov 1
This week is about defining the content and structure of your presentation. Your presentation needs to provide us (your audience) with a clear sense of why you made the decisions you did.
- Define the content of your presentation. Answer these questions as a starting point:
- Describe your project briefly.
- Analyze the important steps in your process:
- Identify 1-2 problems you encountered
- How did you think about or approach the problem(s)?
- How did you attempt to solve the problem(s)?
- Evaluate your project's result critically:
- How did your design turn out?
- Why do you believe this?
- What would you revise about the design given more time?
- What did you learn about the design process?
- Based on your answers to the questions above, structure and sketch out medium-fidelity slides that include actual text and visual content. Consider:
- What 'topic' should each slide cover?
- What kinds of visuals and explanations are needed?
- What is a logical order?
- What should I say overtop of each slide?
- Prepare presentation notes for a draft presentation given in the Nov 1 class.
- You will be given three minutes
- We will put up your sketched slides on the projector
Bring to your Nov 1 class
Please come with the following:
- Your sketched slides as a series of JPGs or a multi-page PDF (one slide per page)
- Your presentation notes
From Nov 1 to Nov 8
