Week 5 – Phase 1
In addition to the course booklet, this year, I have added a few more rules, here they go.
- Develop a pdf that will contain 20 slides, 20 seconds each. The pdf itself will mainly be images / info graphics with little / no text.
- 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.
- You have to present in English.
- You cannot read from the screen.. so you will / can hand handheld notes for each slide, study cards are highly recommended.
- You can email your presentation for comments beforehand for comments @ varun.thautam@gmail.com, it is highly recommended!!
- Please post your presentations here in this folder
Your presentations will have to be uploaded before class.
Sep-Dec – Meeting discussion and resources posted
