• Mon 25 Nov
  - I updated the presentation schedule for this Friday. I hope I didn't miss any of your emails, but if I did, please send me a friendly reminder :)
  - The original marking scheme has the item "there is a continuity or thread throughout the demo" at the "material" section. As a grader, I believe it is incorrect to grant these points to the "material", because this issue applies to "presentation". I take the liberty of altering the scheme, but if you disagree, please let me know.
  - Someone asked if there is a problem if one does not use slides or transparencies. The answer is no: you may have such aids, but they are not required. The marking scheme mentions "smooth use of audio-visual equipment", but I am only expecting a nice and convincing demonstration of your running software. I do not particularly expect you to use microphones, projectors or other "audio-visual" equipment...
• Thu 21 Nov
  Since only a team had their demo today (AA Consulting), all the other teams remained for next week.
  Please make note of the following issues:
  - The timing will be strict. No team will spend more than 15 minutes, including questions (which means that 16 teams will spend at most 4 hours on their presentations). It is a long time, but 16 teams are so many...
  - As a grader, I am expecting an emphasis on the running demo. You worked the whole semester on it, and now you are supposed to show that it works. The presentation still needs to be well organized and have a story; however, you should not spend too much time discussing about how you did your work (the time is short, and you did this already in your assignments, after all), but you should spend the time showing what you did.
  - When you email me to book a slot, please indicate whether you will use your laptop (which is preferred), or you will connect to CDF.
  This is the schedule for Fri 29 Nov:
  1. TBA

  I eventually found out that tomorrow's presentations will be held at the following locations:
  - The teams who will use a laptop projector will present in our regular room, WB219.
  - The teams who wish to connect to CDF or to ECF will present in one of the available labs (which we will hopefully find open at that hour).

  At last, the Assignment 5 and the instructions for the software demo are posted on the course website. We are still waiting for the locations where the demo will be run. Read the demo instructions, prepare well, and stay tuned!
• Fri 15 Nov
  The only thing that you need to present is your running demos. Some of you have to run the demo next week.
  We are aware that some teams cannot come to the next tutorial. If you plan to come, please email me and Meng, and we will book you a presentation slot.
  You will find our email addresses in the course web site.
