Prepare a one or two page written progress report containing the following:

1. An updated project schedule with milestones and dates annotated with information indicating which parts you have completed, which parts you are currently working, and which parts you have yet to start. Include any changes to your plan. Be specific about what you are going to do (or have done), what you have left to do, and in what order you plan to do these things.

2. One paragraph describing any difficulties you have encountered so far and how you plan to resolve them (or how you did reslove them). If you don' t know how to resolve them or have some ideas but have not completely figured it out yet, then explicitly tell me this so that I can try to suggest some solutions.

This should be written using the report.tex template in your Project/MidwayReport/ subdirectory of your Project repo. Push the .tex to your repo by the due date (don't add the .pdf to your repo, but you should make sure you can successfully make a .pdf version from you .tex before you push).

In class on Tuesday or Thursday, each group will give a 15 minute presentation that briefly discusses their project's progress. Plan for about 10-12 minutes of presenation of your topic and about 3-5 minutes for questions and discussion.

You should have a few slides (6-8) that:

1. Introduce your project to your classmates (about 7 minutes).
2. List the milestones you have met and the ones you have left to do.
3. List any problems you have encountered along the way.

Use this as an opportunity to introduce your classmates to your project and to get some feedback from your classmates on some of the work you have done and have left to do.

As an audience member, you are responsible for giving feedback to the other groups. I will provide feedback forms that you will fill out for each group.

Here is a link to my tips for preparing oral presentations (there are some links to other tips about oral presentations off this page too)

Where to upload your talk slides and link to them

Create a .pdf version of your midway presentation talk slides and scp them into your public_html subdirectory on the CS system, set permissions so that they are world readable, and add a link to them from the google doc:

1. From your home machine, copy the pdf version of your midway presentation slides (e.g. midwaypres.pdf) into your public_html subdirectory on the CS system:

   scp midwaypres.pdf you@cs.swarthmore.edu:./public_html/.
   

   See the details about setting up your public_html directory on the CS system from the webpage directions from Paper1 assignment.

2. On the CS machine, set permissions so that this file is world readable:

   $ cd ~/public_html
   $ chmod 644 midwaypres.pdf
   $ ls -l
     -rw-r--r-- ...  midwaypres.pdf
   

3. On the Midway Presentation google doc add a link to your talk slides:
   1. Insert -> Insert Link
   2. Enter the url to your talk slides and name the link something (I have an example off this page you can follow). The url will be something like this:

      https://www.cs.swarthmore.edu/~you/midwaypres.pdf
      

   Test out this link from the google doc page after you add it to make sure you download your talk slides .pdf from the link you added to the google doc.

Presentation Schedule

Upload a link to your talk slides (.pdf version) to the google doc before 12:30pm on the day your group presents. We need to get through all of these in a short amount of class time, so you must copy a .pdf version of your talk slides into your public_html directory on the CS system, and add a link to them off the google doc before class. See the talks slides upload directions above for details.
