To view the ideas presented by a team section and to provide feedback, click on the links below. Each idea will be reviewed in detail by at least 3 different course staff members.

If you missed the presentations please be sure to what the presentation videos linked above. If you were not able to make class on Friday it may be worth looking at the class notes (.pdf) for overall feedback on the presentations.

All of the sketch model presentations were quite good. A 5 tier rank order based on the ideas, models, research and presentation effectiveness is below. The rank order is based on the consensus of 17 course staff members and mentors, resulting from a 2 hour discussion after the sketch model review. The error bars represent the standard deviation of the mean.

The purpose of ranking is to provide overall feedback that can be used to improve our projects... we want to use the review as a learning opportunity. It is not used for the sketch model grade, which is determined by your lab instructor.

There are many aspects that influence the rankings (see the class notes, slide 15). It is worth looking a the higher ranked projects and thinking about what went well. If your project has a lower ranking, it may mean the idea was not clearly presented, there were gaps in research, or that there were either concerns or misunderstandings about the idea.
