Be sure to do all calculations in your lab notebook, and bring your laboratory notebook with you to the presentation. You may bring your presentation on your own laptop (if you know how to hook up and activate an external projector). Otherwise, bring your presentation on USB drive, CD, or e-mail it to me the night before the presentation, and you may use my computer. If you use your own computer, you need to also send me an electronic copy. Please bring a printout of your slides with you to your presentation, just in case something goes wrong.

  • Prelab telescope design. (1 slide)
  • 1.1 Dipole argument of why light reflected from dielectric floor coating is polarized. (1 slide)
  • 1.2 b-1 and b-2. (1 slide)

Please use Microsoft Powerpoint (or compatible). You could also use PDF, if necessary.

You will only be graded on technical content for the first oral presentation. Subsequent presentations will be graded on both technical content as well as slides and presentation technique.

The presentation should not be stressful. Think of it as an interactive discussion. You will not be asked to do any detailed calculations on the board, etc. This is not a test. It is just an oral report.
