DUE MONDAY APR 21 AT 11:59PM.

Presentation Guidelines

Prepare a 10-min presentation about your group project. You will be randomly assigned to present on April 16 or April 21. Please email your slides to the course staff at cs4440-staff@groups.gatech.edu by 2:00 PM on the day of your presentation.

Your presentation should include the following components:

  1. Overview
    • Include a title slide with project title, team member names, and the group number
    • Review your project’s overall goal and/or the intended functionality
    • Explain the project’s significance: who are the target users and what are target use cases?
  2. Technical Implementation
    • Describe the database design (if applicable):
      • For relational databases, including the ER model and relational schema.
      • For non-relational databases, show appropriate data constructs and their contents.
    • It could be helpful to include an architecture diagram to illustrate your technical stack (e.g., main components and libraries/systems used for each)
    • Make sure to proper highlight what you have done on top of existing works. For example, did you download public datasets from a website, or did you manually scrape and clean the data?
    • Discuss any major technical challenges you faced and your solutions.
  3. Project Outcomes
    • Discuss the current implementation status. Give proper justifications for the implementations that clearly deviate from project goals.
    • Note that we expect the implementation to conclude by the final demo, not this presentation. However, you are welcomed to discuss any preliminary results in the presentation.
  4. Reflection and Future Works
    • Share key learning outcomes from the project.
    • Outline potential future improvements or extensions to the project.

Submission and Grading

The presentation is worth 5% of your grade. We will grade the presentation using the following criteria:

  • Structure (40%): did the presentation cover all required contents, and organize the evidences effectively?
  • Clarity (40%): explains technical choices (e.g., database design, challenges) in an understandable way.
  • Timing (20%): did the presentation organize its time well, and stick to the 10-minute limit?
