Hi all,

Great job with the presentations on Tuesday! We really enjoyed learning about your findings. The amount of work you've done during the semester is amazing. We hope you enjoyed the class too.

Thanks to all of you who have completed the class evaluation. We are still missing a couple. Since it's a small class we are aiming for 100% completion rate. Remember to submit your evaluation before May 16th. The link to the evaluations and instructions (both for MIT and cross-registered students) is:

Reminders for the next week

Hi All,

As a reminder, two deliverables will be due from you by midnight next Monday, May 9th:

1. Final Project
2. Final team evaluations.

You'll soon receive an invitation to submit your feedback for your team members from the online peer review system. The final team evaluations are 8% of your grade. Remember to submit your peer reviews on time so we could give you your final grade!

Guidelines for the final presentations are below. Let us know if you have any questions.

*****
Guidelines on the Final Project

For the final presentation, your focus should be on:
1) Key results and insights from your project (e.g., hypotheses validated/refuted with your analysis)
2) Key recommendation(s) for the startup (if you were running it, what you would do next)
3) Do not state the project scope (we know that) – avoid pure repetition of the material you used in your intermediate presentations.

Format of the Final Project (Presentation + Appendix):
1) Presentation in a .PPT or .PPTX format: 15 slides max;
2) Appendix (Updated), with your PMR and experimental data analysis (.PPT or .PPTX) (no page limit on the Appendix).

The length of in-class presentations: 10 minutes and 5 minutes of Q+A.

Due: email your final deliverables to elab-ta@mit.edu by 11:59PM on Monday, May 9th.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Genya
