Presentation

Prepare a 4 to 5-minute max presentation of your results using PowerPoint/Google Slides (downloaded as PPT) or another presentation tool that will allow you to save the slide deck as PowerPoint slides.

Remember a rule of thumb is that each content slide should be budgeted for about 1 minute to present.

Video

Prepare a narrated video presentation of your report. It should be 4 to 5 minutes duration.

Here is an example of a past student’s video:

 

You can use a free tool like ScreenCast-O-Matic, or any other video capture tool of your choice.

You may also use the PowerPoint Voice Over tool to create your narrated presentation. See Microsoft Help

Just about done!

Lab Assignment Submission

Important

When you are ready to create your final lab report, save the Lab8-your-name.Rmd lab file and then Knit it to make a Word or PDF file.

You will also submit your presentation deck and your video presentation file (usually an MP4). If the video capture tool you use just creates an online presentation, include the URL here in your Lab8-Remix-Student-Name file:

In all, you should submit:

  1. Lab8-Remix-Student-Name. If you are unable to knit to either a Word or PDF file, submit a copy of your .RMD file.

  2. Presentation Slide deck

  3. Video of presentation. Alternatively, a “PowerPoint” file containing narration and slide timings. Inclusion of a link to your online video in the Lab8-Remix-Student-Name file meets this requirement.

You can submit the files individually in Canvas in the M8.5 Lab 8 Remix and Report: Personal Data Project assignment page

The Lab 8 Grading Rubric will be used.

Congrats

You have completed Lab 8 - the Personal Data Project!
