Project submission mailbag - latest updates on top

Hi all,

Got these emails today:

Hi Sir,

Just a small doubt .. hope the title and mid-title slides are not a part of 30 slide limit.


regards

My reply:

OK. The title and section title slides if any shall not be part of the 30 slide limit.

Pls number the slides, in that case.

One more:

Hi,
I have one more query. We got an input that recommendations should be in 10 slides. But concise recommendations wont take more than 2 slides. Are you expecting us to give recommendations in 10 slides?

My reply:

No. I don’t recall anywhere suggesting recomm slide limits.

Kindly use your judgement on how long the recomm slides should be.

Hi Professor,

How do you want us to submit the assignment.
Should we mail the PPT to the TA or upload it via blackboard ?

Thanks,

My response:

Hi all,

Got a few queries on project submission modalities.

Kindly submit your final project deliverable PPTs only in the blackboard dropbox. Do not email as these files are large in size.

Pls name the file as yourgroup_project.pptx.

The deadline expires at noon today (Sunday).

Peer evals should be emailed to the AAs with an email with subject heading “peer evaluation” before Monday noon.

Hope that clarifies.

Another one:

Hi,
What is the maximum number of slides for the project? Will the name and presentation outline slide also be counted towards that number.

Regards,

My reply:

Yes, max number of slides is 30. A further annexure section is optional with at most 10 slides – containing supporting tables only. However, pls ensure nothing important goes into the annexures because there is no guarantee that these slides will be considered or even looked at.

Hope that clarifies.

A third one:

Dear Prof,

We are going ahead with our recommendation based on the internet survey sample.
...

Our take is that as our survey is primarily based on internet and “snowball” sampling, the taste and economic indicators would be definitely a lot higher than the general sample.
...
To do justice to our analysis and the data collect, we are basing our recommendation on the data collected and painstakingly cleaned and analyzed. I hope that this would be fine and the bias would be considered during the grading part of the assignment!

Thanks,

My response:

As long as your logic is sound, well-written and clearly expressed, you are fine.
