The major parts should be outlined on prepared overhead transparencies to which the student can refer during the talk. Slides, or sample of apparatus and material may be shown during the talk where relevant. The second talk will follow a similar format to the first, but will deal with the results obtained by the student to date. Any analysis which has been done should also be presented together with any further experiments and analysis planned. It is usually helpful to show data in graphical form, if possible on prepared overhead transparencies, which then can be discussed in the talk and by the class.
All advisors are normally present.
Students will be assessed for their final grades on four criteria. The Notebook must be legibly written and as complete as possible. All this information should be recorded at the time of the experiment or calculation and clearly dated. The final talk should be an overview of the background and methods used, a clear summary of the results obtained, the conclusions drawn and how these relate to the original purpose of the project. This report is a more detailed summary of the project.
