Dear Rich Media Student, On Thursday 31st January there will be an Examined Presentation of your multimedia applications. Janice and I are looking forward to seeing your presentations, and would like to wish you every success with. Please make sure they are completely ready, and practised, well before Thursday 31st January. If you wish to try them out on the examination computers, in the room allocated to you below, then please do this several days before. We advise you to book the room several days before in order to do this. The rest of this email contains the instructions for the Examined Presentation. This will be under examination conditions, and the marks awarded will contribute to your degrees. Since this will be Janice's final day at the University of Salford, there will not be any chance of later presentations. So every single student of every team must be there, at the times allocated below. Any student that is not there will be given zero marks for this part (but of course Personal Mitigating Circumstances rules apply). Each team must bring with them: » their presentation » a printed list of what each member has contributed to the whole project of creating and carrying out the presentation. FACILITIES: There are two rooms for presentation, each with a PC. Each team is allocated a room and a time period, as detailed below. The time period includes: 10 minute's to set up, 10 minutes to present, 5 minutes for questions, and five minutes to clear up before the next team comes to set up on that computer. The two examiners will move between the rooms, to hear your presentation and time for questions. Use of your 15 minutes. With Presentation and Question time, you have 15 minutes, which will be timed. You must start your presentation exactly at the time shown for you as "Present in room xxx". The presentation time must include any introduction or explanations you make, plus a demonstration of your multimedia. We strongly recommend that you practice both your presentation and introduction and explanations well beforehand. Setting up: You are expected to use the PC in the room for your presentation, however if you prefer, you could bring a laptop to plug in. However things go wrong with technology. Things don't work when we expect them to, or take longer than we think to set up. For example, the PCs in the room might not run your animation exactly as you think it should. For example, when you plug in the laptop, the projector does not recognise it and cannot switch inputs to it. Therefore, we strongly advise that you arrive at least 10 minutes before the time allocated to you below. Usually the previous team will have left the room by that time.

We advise you to arrive at your allocated room at least ten minutes before the time shown for set-up. It may be that the previous team has left. The teams have been allocated times and rooms more or less at random. We are sorry, but it will not be possible to change the times allocated. Therefore, please make sure that all members of your team can make those times allocated. If any team member has work in the early evening, then they should obtain time off to allow them to be present, and if any team member has other commitments, then those commitments should be changed. (If a team member has a very serious problem with the time (very serious might include the death of a close relative), then they should inform me in writing before Monday 28th January stating exactly what the problem is. Illness will, of course, be catered for in the usual way.
