Presentation Materials

  • No specific presentation style/format/materials are required. You, the presenter, decide how you present your work.

  • The presenters should send the presentation materials, PDF, slides for example, to Dr. Yu before the class begins on the class activity day.

  • Your presentation materials will be posted on Activity work page.

Evaluation
