Teach-In

Assignment

The teach-ins are meant to be a way for team members to become more fluent when talking about their projects, and for all AguaClara students to learn about the work being done on the other sub-teams.

The teach-in should begin by introducing the team members and giving a brief overview of the problems that your team is working to address, and why your work will be valuable to AguaClara. The presentation should also include:

• General semester goals
• Important deadlines
• What you are working on now
• Expected challenges
• Great visuals: lab set-ups, images from programs run, useful charts, etc
• Any preliminary results you may have so far
• For research teams, at the beginning of the presentation, include some theory and how project fits into AguaClara

This is your chance to explain your project and educate the entire team. You can also use some of your time explaining obstacles or challenges you are facing and requesting feedback from the class.

Grading

The teach-ins are meant to be fun and informative and will give Monroe a good idea of how well you understand and can communicate about the work you are doing. We highly encourage new team members to give the teach-ins for their team.

This semester we are enforcing teach-ins time limits. Each Team will have 25 minutes total, 20 minutes to present, and 5 minutes for Q&A. Please arrive early the day of your presentation to load your presentation on the class computer.

Your team will receive full credit for the teach-in if new team members participate in speaking, good visuals are used to clearly convey the concepts your team is working with, and you respect the time limits.
