Proposal Presentations

Here are a few important points about the proposal presentations. These are to ensure the smooth running of the presentation schedule.

• Each student has been allocated a maximum of 20 minutes.
• The 20 minutes will cover the presentation and the discussion/questions time.
• You will have a maximum of 12 minutes for your presentation. So practice to make sure you can say all that you want to say in the 12 minutes.
• You will be given feedback at the end. The feedback will fall into one of three outcomes. 1. Yes you can proceed to start your dissertation. 2. make the following changes by next week and you can proceed. 3. Your proposal & project idea is not ready yet. Keep developing it and you might be able to start in Sept.
• Please turn up 10 minutes early and wait outside the room. We will come out and let you know when you can come into the room
• Email me (brendan.tierney at dit dot ie) your presentation 2 hours before your presentation time. This will allow me to have your presentation open when you come into the room and we dont have to waste time on plugging in USB keys etc
