==== Final Presentation ====

;'''Presentation Date:''' 
* Presentations need to be shared in the Canvas discussion by '''Monday May 29 at 11:59pm'''
* Feedback on others presentations need to be posted by '''Thursday June 1 at 11:59pm'''
 
;'''Turning in:''' 
* Upload your video as a new thread in this [https://canvas.uw.edu/courses/1633288/discussion_topics/8134432 Canvas discussion]

;'''Watching presentations and feedback:'''
* We're expecting ''every'' person in the class to watch ''every'' presentation. It should take about 2 hours 30 minutes.
* Leave substantive feedback (see 5-question list below as a guide to feedback) by replying to the threads of the people in [https://teams.microsoft.com/l/message/19:a289c7b44b704149a725047dcafc814d@thread.tacv2/1684191632538?tenantId=f6b6dd5b-f02f-441a-99a0-162ac5060bd2&groupId=189ea783-b3e2-4b4e-83ce-74ebc15db6a5&parentMessageId=1684191632538&teamName=Community%20Data%20Science%20(Spring%202023)&channelName=Final%20Projects&createdTime=1684191632538&allowXTenantAccess=false your final presentation group] [requires Teams access]. We're expecting that you should spend about 15 minutes writing up meaningful feedback for these people. This should take about 90 minutes.
* Leave short feedback (spending 1 minute or so is fine) for everybody who is ''not'' in your presentation group. Saying you love their work is great, but the truest expression of love in data science is intellectual engagement with someone's hard work. Ask a question, make a connection to other ideas and work, or point out a place to dig deeper. 

;Length: All presentations will need to be '''a maximum of 8 minutes long'''. Do not exceed 8 minutes and 0 seconds and don't edit your video to speed it up if you go too long. Concisely communicating an idea in the time allotted is an important skill in its own right!

;Slides: You are encouraged to use slides for your talk. Please keep in mind that your slides are meant to be additive, not a teleprompter.

;Recording your talk: There are a range of options for recording your talk. If all else fails, you can join a Zoom room by yourself, share your screen, and record the sessions. It's been working for the class all quarter long so it'll probably work for you too!

Your presentation should provide the teaching team and your classmates with a very clear idea of what to expect in your final paper. However, don't treat it as a comprehensive overview of your paper: I would rather you tell a subset of the story well than the whole story in a rushed fashion. For instance, you can give a completely successful presentation by describing the motivation and walking through one plot in your paper. The teaching team will provide you with substantial feedback on your presentation. This will be an opportunity for me to see a preview of your paper and give you a sense for what I think you can improve. It's to your advantage to both give a compelling talk and to give me a sense for your project.

Here is a list of questions to think about both when providing in your feedback and when structuring your talk:

# In your own words, what research question did you hear the presenter answer? What are they trying to communicate? How well did they answer their question or achieve their goals? Did you find the answer compelling? Why or why not?
# Be critical. What problems, challenges, or limitations do you see with the way that the presenter is trying to measure things? What are the risks or threats to the validity of the work?
# How would you improve the work? What additional sort of data do you think could be helpful? What sort of additional analysis or visualization would be helpful? What additional interpretation would be helpful?
# If you saw this as a YouTube video or retweeted on Twitter, what sort of questions would you leave in the comments?
# If you were doing this project and presenting it to a supervisor, how would they respond? What changes would you want to make to address this audience a result? What if you were presenting it a colleague, collaborator or friend?
