16are most strongly contrasting rather than just minor variants of each other. It’s best if theyare mutually exclusive. Assessing significance of the options: You might end up with a chart that lists the options inthe columns and assesses their merit in terms of the various concerns -- rights, costs, etc,-- that the stakeholders have Select an option and make your argument: This is usually the hardest part of thepresentation: it's easy to tell us what you think should be done, but the hard part isconvincing us that any reasonable person should agree with you!!Program for class on April 1,3Each team only needs to come to one of these two days, April 1 or 3 -- the other day,you will have free; you can email me at your convenience to tell me which date you prefer andI will try to accommodate your preferences;Please bring copies of handouts for the entire audience, and bring me any newdocuments that you have found valuable so that I can do some further reading to help youmove forward.Each day, each team will have about 30-45 minutes: 15 minutes to present, and 15-30 minutes for follow-up Q&A and discussion with the audience.After each team's presentation, the students in the audience and I will all do writtenevaluations on both the content and the form. I will collect these evaluations at the end of thesession.I will meet with each team for one hour some time in the week following thepresentations. During the meeting, I will feed back to you a synthesis of the audienceevaluations and my own suggestions for improvement; I will brainstorm with you what yourcan do to make your final presentations as solid, interesting, and convincing as possible.Program for class on April 22, 24These two sessions will be devoted to final project presentations. Everyone is expected toattend on both days. Each team will have 15 minutes to present, followed by Q&A time.Apart from the oral presentation, each team has three deliverables. For the instructor: acopy of your “Talking Document” and “Memo” and for the class: black-and-white Handouts ofyour Powerpoint slides.Your Talking Document is composed of: Powerpoint Slides: you all know a lot about how to compose good slides (remember theGoldilocks rules: not too much content, nor too little) Notes Pages: where the Slide bullet points are not self-explanatory, Notes are important.These Notes should not be your voice-over script and should not be a prose report indisguise: they should simply add, in bullet point form, whatever extra information thereader would need to understand the points being made on the Slide. Appendices that show backup analysis or data required to support your analysis andrecommendation. (Not a data dump!)Your Memo: in about 4-5 pages single-spaced, you should lay out the key points of yourargument. Write it as if it were going to your client and as if they had not seen yourpresentation. You can refer to the Talking Document appendices for the data underlying yourassertions. But apart from that, the memo should be able to stand alone: i.e. reading it shouldbe a good substitute for being at the presentation meeting.Your Handout: please be ready to give everyone in the audience a Handout with 2-4 pptslides per page.
