Student Presentations
=====================

Student presentations or talks are a course activity where a team of students presents a topic related to Python Libraries to the class. The talks must be short, informative and fun. The goal is to make the audience learn about the library: Get an idea of what is the library useful for and how to apply it.


Teams
-----

Teams must be composed of **two** students.


Topics
------

Python is a highly modular languages and a great deal of the libraries have been developed and made available to Python programmers. It's key in making Python a very powerfull tool for developers in many various contexts. Therefore, a topic of a student presentation could be, but it is not limited to, any of the following popular Python libraries:

    - Python object-oriented programming
    - Python iterators
    - Pandas
    - NumPy and SciPy
    - NetworkX and Matplotlib
    - Seaborn
    - MySQL and MySQL connector
    - MongoDB and PyMongo
    - Tkinter
    - Scrapy
    - Django
    - Flask
    - Kivy
    - Sci-Kit Learn
    - TensorFlow
    - PyTorch
    - Keras
    - OpenCV
    - Pygame


The Talk
--------

    - A 10-minutes length oral presentation to the rest of the class.
    - Both members must participate in the talk for a similar length.
    - After the class there will be a time for questions between 5 and 10 minutes long where all students in the class are encouraged to participate.


Deliverables
------------

    - *Slides*: The docs to be delivered are the slides and other materials used as a support for the presentation. This is **mandatory**.
    - *Report*: A written report of the topic you covered in your presentation. It must be delivered in a .pdf file. This is **optional** but it must be written by the students. Reports generated by other means than the students will be penalized.


Operation
---------

    - *Applications*: Email to the course coordinator no later than the deadline indicated in the Atenea Course indicating:

        - Names of the team members.
        - Preferred Topics: 3 topics ordered from higher to lower preference.

    - *Assignment*: The topic assigned to each team (preferably but not necessarily from your list of preferences) will be decided 4 weeks before the presentations dates.

    - *Dates*:

        - Student lectures will be scheduled during the last 2 weeks of the lective period and will be done during class hours.
        - The docs (slides, report) must be send not later than 48 hours **before** the presentation.
        - A revised version of the docs (slides) may be send not later than 48 hours **after** the presentation.


Evaluation
----------

The grade will be based on the following issues:

    - **Communication** skills (verbal and non-verbal) exhibited during the oral presentation.
    - **Answers** to the questions.
    - **Questions** posed to other student presentations.
    - Quality of the materials used as a support.

This is an extra grade that is added to your final grade. Check the grades section to see the exact weight and terms.
