2.96 / 2.961 Progress Report Presentations on Wednesday, 10/18

Dear 2.96 / 2.961 students,

This upcoming Wednesday 10/18, each project group will give a presentation describing the progress you have made to date on your business plans. The primary purpose is for you to receive feedback and make improvements going forward. We have included the five basic elements of a business presentation in the Assignments section of Stellar for Wednesday. Please consider including all of those key constituents in your presentation so that feedback can be comprehensive. Each undergraduate team will have exactly 5 minutes to present; graduates will have 15. Please plan accordingly because you unfortunately will not be able to exceed these time limits. Graduate students will again present in 1-246; undergraduates in the normal 35-225 lecture hall.
