Final Presentation

Instructions for Presenters

• Presentations are individual.
• Prepare a talk of 10 minutes, after each talk there will be room for questions.
• The presentation must include the following:
  • A cover slide (title, name, date, Communications Systems Lab Course, IFI, UZH)
  • 4-6 content slides.
  • A conclusion slide.
• Time is limited: Focus on the core of the topic, do not waste time introducing basics.

Instructions for the Audience

• Each student needs to make at least one question in a presentation.
• Each presentation will have a maximum of two questions, due to the limited time

Note:

• Deadline for topic selection is 21.11.2023. The order of presentations will be distributed as soon as all the topics were assigned.
• Topic conflicts: usually a topic can be split in two parts, we will contact participants individually to solve conflicts.
• Send your slides until Monday morning before the presentation as Power Point, Open Office Document or PDF. 
• Presentation Date: will happen after the last laboratory session. Time slots will be announced as soon as the topics were assigned.

Remember:

• Active participation in the presentation sessions is part of the requirements to successfully complete this course and receive the ECTS. Thus, students have to be present at both presentation dates, even if they are not giving the talk.
• If students miss a presentation session, they have to hand in a written report detailing the presented topic. The report must cover 4 pages written in 2 column IEEE template (e.g., in LaTex: \documentclass[10pt, conference]{IEEEtran}) handed in by the day of the recap date (08.12).
