Step 1: Plan & Schedule

Coordinate as a group on how you are going to put together your presentation and whether or not you want to create slides or just do screen share.

Step 2: Schedule your Recording Day

Decide on a day you will record your status report and what tool you want to use for the recording. All team members must be present in the presentation unless otherwise arranged with the instructor.

Grading Criteria

With Status Reports I am looking for thoughtful preparation and research, attention to detail, completion of task, creativity, and good energy. Presentations should be error-free and a demonstrated effort for solid delivery of information including maintaining audience interest.
