This will be fully deliverable at the time of the final exam (04 May 2026 at 1600-1900)
However, on selected Wednesdays during the semester, we will ask one or more of you all to present your working draft to your colleagues.
For each of the Wednesday presentations, five of your colleagues will be anonymous reviewers of the presentatiion,
assuming the persona of the individual who will make hiring decisions.
Their anonymous scoring of your presentation will be presented to you
to enable you to hear from peers how well your presentation worked for the purpose it was intended.
Keep refining your presentation so that it may be submitted at the end of the semester as a timed, self-running, narrated presentation that you would be confident in submitting to represent you to potential employers.
