Project Presentations

For Fall 2020, group presentations will likely be recorded Zoom videos. More details will be forthcoming– but the general idea is to have five minutes per team along with five slides per team. Both limits are hard. Teams are expected to have presentation-ready slides in the RStudio Cloud environment (Markdown presentation).

The overall deadline for the group projects will be in around the end of classes / end of term and likely by towards the middle of December.
