3 Requirements Text size  24 pt. (text size < 16 pt is not acceptable) Image resolution  72 dpi. Presentation time: 60 min + 10 min discussion. Number of slides should be determined based on approximate rule: 1 slide per 1 min. All literature or internet sources used in the presentation must be referenced. No dress code, but respect the audience. Attendance of all project presentations is mandatory. Questions and discussions are encouraged at presentations

4 Final project presentations Presentation format: Each presenter will have a maximum of 60 minutes to present the talk. This should be organized to allow at least 10 extra minutes for questions after the presentation itself is finished. The projecting computer system will be operational with PowerPoint, CD ROM, USB connector for flash drive. There is a promise that the network connection will be fully operational for the computer but I can't guarantee that it will happen so you may be disappointed if you rely on displaying material from the web. The schedule of presentations will be announced.

14 Report – 6 Issues to be checked in the final report Organization The document is organized to support the needs of the reader, providing straightforward access to needed information The reader can find the main ideas and the structure of the document quickly and easily.
