Overview

The in-class final presentation will be a clear and concise 20-minute presentation version of the final written deliverable. The presentation to your liaison and/or organization may be of greater duration, though I do no not recommend longer than approximately 30 minutes. You should focus on presenting a description of the problem, your approach taken to address the problem, and your visualizations use to tell a story about your findings. Each team member should present and discuss at least one of their visualizations.

The final written report for the project will be delivered to me and to your liaison. This report will represent a more careful unpacking of the problem, including a discussion about the data, data cleaning steps, and associated file deliverables. I can print a color-printed copy for you to distribute to the liaison. If the liaison is remote, a color version of the pdf is appropriate.

Elements to Focus On

For the final presentation, you should focus on presenting a description of the problem, data summaries, and visualization used to help tell a story about your findings. You should make sure to address the key elements outlined in the project proposal and discussed with your liaison.

Presentation Medium

You can use any slide-presentation tool you wish. You will just need to ensure:

a printed version of the slide deck for class time;
an electronic pdf of the slide deck before or after the presentation;
that visualizations contain Alt text (alternative text) for screen readers; What is alt text?; see Make your document, presentation and sheets more accessible and How to add alternative text to an object in google slides

Stakeholders

Identify the stakeholders for your project. For example, include you liaison, liaison’s institution, course professor, your college, etc. for whom the final work will be submitted.

Evaluation and Generalized Rubric

More detail will be added here similar to the Midterm Presentation.

Quality of project deliverable documents (e.g., organization, coherence, story, coding clarity/organization, models, plots, etc.)
Professionalism (e.g., liaison meeting etiquette and responsibility, timely discord communication, non-tardy attendance at weekly team meeting, weekly worklogs, feedback from liaison, etc.)
Peer evaluation (e.g., contributions, team player, etc.)

Note: Liaisons will also participate in evaluating teams. The team with the most impressive project (e.g., most clear, most useful and actionable, most interesting, most thought provoking, etc.) will receive bonus points.
