Key Points: This is an opportunity to share your knowledge in a specific topic area! On the last Thursday of the course you will be presenting information on a specific topic area of your choice (with some constraints). You will be working in teams to present on a specific topic area but these teams are NOT the same teams you will be working with for the rest of the course! The instructor will write specific topic areas on the white board (Systems Engineering, Software Development, etc…) and you will individually sign up under a topic of your choice! Maybe you are already an expert in the area or maybe you want to learn more about a specific area – either is fine. Please sign up for a specific topic by tomorrow morning!
Write the topics on a white board or butcher paper so they are able to sign up by COB on the first day of class!
Ensure that at least one group does choose Emerging Technology as their topic. Exploration of Emerging Technologies is a course Learning Objective

Introduction

6. Student Panel Rules Rule Number 1: Format is your call
Within bounds of Good Taste and Propriety!
Related to topics covered in class or at least associated with Information Technology (IT) or Software Intensive System (SIS) areas of interest.
You can replace an existing topic with one of your choice provided it meets the requirements (min of 4 team members); however, it has to replace another topic.
30-minute maximum time.
Rule Number 2: Coordinated Effort
Minimum of 4, Maximum of 6 per team.
Class time will be made available throughout the two weeks for preparation.
Rule Number 3: Opportunity
Make this a Learning/Teaching experience for the entire class.

Key Points: These are the basic rules for the discussion panels. If the students decide to come up with their own topic it has to replace another topic or I have found there is not enough time to perform the brief backs at 30-minutes per presentation. However, whatever you think is best. I have also found that cutting them off at 30-minutes is best and then making a “parking lot” for the questions work well and just visiting this after all the presentations are complete works well. If I don’t do this it seems some go 45+ minutes and by the last presentation the class is ready to go and participation goes down.. But again wherever you think is best given the climate of the class!

7. Possible Ways to Approach Student Panel Discussion
Standard Presentation format
Individual Panel member throws out a topic for discussion and then elicits class responses
Panel members present topic pros and cons and then involve class in discussion
Role play—e.g., One panel member is PM, another is an cybersecurity professional—then discuss
Point/counterpoint format
Game Format (like "Jeopardy", or "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?", or "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?")
