Physics 3330: Electronics for the Physical Sciences

Instructors: Heather Lewandowski, John Price, Charles Rogers


Final Oral Presentations:

The oral presentations will be all day Tuesday, Dec. 6. Please come to as many of the talks as you can. The presentations will be held in the east end of the advanced lab (the optics lab). A draft schedule for the talks is posted here. Please check that you can be present at your assigned time and that your title and partner are listed correctly. Send an e-mail to John Price if you have corrections. Please check the schedule again before Tuesday because we may have to adjust the time of your presentation.

Single speakers have 10 minutes and teams of two have 15 minutes. Please plan to finish two minutes early to leave time for questions. We will have an overhead transparency projector and an LCD projector in case you want to bring your presentation on a laptop. You must prepare visual aids to go along with your presentation. Typically these will include a title slide, slides describing your circuit, slides showing any data or other results, and a conclusion slide. Demonstrations of your project are encouraged. There will be a table in the presentation area for you to set up your demos before your talk. There will not be time to move the entire audience to the electronics lab for a demo. Teams should divide their time so that everyone participates in the presentation. Be sure to practice your presentation in front of an audience until you are sure that it can be understood and that it is the correct length.

Written Project Reports:

Final project reports are due to your instructor on Thursday, Dec. 8 at 5 pm. Teams should hand in one report for each member of the team, even if they are identical. The amount of content in these reports should be roughtly 3 times that of a regular lab report. You will have to give more background material than in a regular lab since there is no lab manual to go along with your project. There should be enough information in your report so that another student in the course (who is not familiar with your project) could understand what you have done.
