Come
to your presentation prepared. |
The
Final Project Presentations, Wednesday, June 6 2012, 4pm top 8pm (more
details will follow soon)
Format:
I will be combining both classes into one large presentation forum for
everyone's benefit. This way we can see everyone's projects and it
should be a fun time for all. Because of the length of the presentations
I suggest a dinner break at about 6pm. See the information below.
Presentation
Suggestions: Below is a link to a document that I will be handing
out in class next week regarding suggestions on how to give a successful
presentation in this class: SolidWorks
Final Project Presentations
Evaluation
check list: Use this as a guide for preparing for your Final Project and
presentation: Final
Project Grading Criteria
Dinner: Both
classes were enthusiastic about the proposal of buying sub sandwiches for
our dinner break. The following is what I suggest:
-
We need to give Super One Foods
a week to prepare.
-
I will order these after the
exam on Wednesday
-
The best cost break is 18 feet
of subs at $111
-
There are 35 students in the
two classes which works out to $3.17 each
-
This also works out to about
6" of a sub per person (if I did the math correctly) which should be plenty
of food
-
I will have Super One cut the
sandwiches in both 2" and 3" sections
-
I will also order a variety
of different meat and cheese combinations
-
If there are any dietary needs
let me know via email
-
At the beginning of class, before
the exams on Tuesday and Wednesday, I will pass around a jar for contributions
toward dinner.
-
Consider between a $2 or $4
contribution
-
I will only order what we end
up getting in contributions
-
During the dinner break, please
only consume what you contributed to
-
Contributions are voluntary,
but if you do not contribute please do not consume
-
Beverages are bulky, heavy and
messy so I would suggest that we bring our own, water is preferred
-
I will consider them if there
is interest, email me and let me know.
-
Chips and side dishes can be
messy but will consider them if there is interest, email me and let me
know.
-
If there is extra money above
the $111 I will buy chips or cookies or lottery tickets
