First-semester’s  review is on 4/11 and 11/11 respectively.

Two sessions (morning & afternoon) per Friday with a lunch break in between. Format: 10 mins presentation, 10 mins feedback. All faculty and all students are required to be present for the presentations. We’d have approximately 20-24 students each Friday

Your  VIS COM presentation must include clear answer on the following:

  • WHAT (research question/ abstract)
  • WHO WHY (relevance/Context)
  • HOW (methodology- primary research ( your own work tests sketches)  secondary research )
  • WHO CARES or So What? (Impact)

Suggested order of PP slides:

  1. Working Title, year, major, your name.
  2. Motivation/Inspiration: This can be a question that you are trying to find an answer to…reflecetion..etc
  3. Abstract (short 100 -200 word max what is your project)
  4. Context of your project (key words, who-why-where)
    1. Research methodologysecondary research ( any of the following: literature review on your key-words or key themes. Please note literature review is not just listing books you have got- but more what did you find on the topic or key ideas- who did something similar?  Literature, social media, case studies minimum 5 examples how was something similar done, field trip, observation, surveys, interviews, etcprimary research- your own work such as tests sketches- BRING hard copy and soft copy
  5. Timeline and future plans
  6. Bibilography
