The TA will spend 20 minutes with the group.
You will not be given extra time if your
project does not work properly.
−Explain (5 min - 3%):
explain what you have done. Use print outs or
circuit diagrams as appropriate
−Demonstrate (5 min - 4%):
demonstrate the new capability of your project
−Answer (10 min - 3%):
each project member must answer questions about your work

Progress Presentations
−Presentation #1
−Presentation #2
Progress presentations (10 minutes talk/
5 minutes questions) will describe to the
class technical challenge that you are facing in your
project. Answer these questions:
−What is the challenge?
−Why are you doing it?
−What approaches have you considered?
−Describe your progress so far?
−What unsolved questions are you facing?
Suggestions:
1) You are marked for whether you understand
the engineering issues, not for how much you have done.
Thus, you can be honest.
2) don't try to explain everything about your project in
your time. Pick one or two interesting issues
Notes:
−This is a group presentation.
−You may use powerpoint or overheads.
If you want to use powerpoint, be ready with a CD, USB key, or
web address before class.

Final Project (Report)
The final project report must explain
what you did and how you did it. Be sure to emphasize
the technical challenges that you enountered and
how you successfully addressed them. You need
to sell me on the value of your work. On the
other hand, don't be excessive. Don't try to claim
that it is really hard to do something I know is easy.

Notes and General information
Questions about marks
If you have a question about a mark you have received,
this is the proceedure (all other questions on marks will be ignored)
- Schedule an appointment with the T.A. to see the
work (if required).
- Fill out and sign form
(obtained from T.A., or
download it here)
- Submit to T.A.
- You will receive a response within two weeks.
Warnings
- Late work = 20% off for first week.
- More than 1 week late = don't bother submitting without
good excuse
- Academic fraud will be taken very seriously. Cooperation
between students for assignments and labs is expected and
encouraged; however, copying of another student's work
is not. You should not be leaving a discussion with
copies of another student's work.
Please refer to the University of Ottawa
policies
on this subject.
