Week 5 – Phase 1

In addition to the course booklet, this year, I have added a few more rules, here they go.

  1. Develop a pdf that will contain 20 slides, 20 seconds each. The pdf itself will mainly be images / info graphics with little / no text.
  2. It is highly recommended that you find a book in the library and read up on your architect. Online sources are shallow. Written critique is enriching. Name your sources on the last slide.
  3. You have to present in English.
  4. You cannot read from the screen.. so you will / can hand handheld notes for each slide, study cards are highly recommended.
  5. You can email your presentation for comments beforehand for comments @ varun.thautam@gmail.com, it is highly recommended!!
  6. Please post your presentations here in this folder

Your presentations will have to be uploaded before class.
