Team Project Logistics

Hi all,
I wanted to let everyone know what the logistics will be for next week’s team presentations.
1.)    A single hard copy of your team’s project write-up is due at the beginning of class, next Tuesday May 15.
2.)    A single electronic copy of your team’s presentation slides is due at NOON, next Tuesday May 15. This applies to both sections because I will have all presentations loaded on my computer in advance to minimize transition time between presentations.  Please email the slides to me and copy TAs.
3.)    Teams will be selected at random to present so all teams must be prepared first thing next Tuesday.
4.)    Presentations are 6-8 minutes with a few minutes after for questions. Do not try to summarize your entire write-up in this time. Just provide one or two unique insights about your company along with a buy/sell/hold recommendation.
5.)    Presentations are not graded but we will still be recording class participation for questions and comments next week. Not all team members are required to say something during presentations. For example, teams can designate a single person to present.
If you have any questions between now and next week, both the TAs and I are available.
Thanks,
Chris
