Design Review for Senior ProjectMonth Day, Year4 of 10
BackgroundBackground
• First level– Second level
• Third level
Here describe the background to your project. The
background should be sufficient so that your problem
statement makes sense to an outsider (i.e., your audience).
One or two slides should do it.
Do not discuss your solution here.

ProblemProblem
• First level– Second level
• Third level
Here describe your problem in one or
two concise and precise sentences.
Problems are usually stated as questions.
Do not discuss your solution here.

RequirementsRequirements
• First level– Second level
• Third level
Here list your requirements. They should
match what you submitted. Remember,
requirements are always numbered and
measurable.
One or two slides should do it. In some
cases, a handout may be necessary.

Design / SpecificationDesign / Specification
• First level– Second level
• Third level
Here describe how you will solve your problem (and
meet your requirements). This is the meat of your
presentation. You will likely need mock-up screens,
data structure descriptions, flowcharts, and/or block
diagrams.
In short, a design is a picture… it is
not a bullet list.

AnalysisAnalysis
• First level– Second level
• Third level
Argue why your design is a good one (Did you
consider alternatives? How do you compare
to existing solutions?).

Project planProject plan
• First level– Second level
• Third level
Outline the steps that you will follow to complete
your project. Give milestones and dates. A
Gantt chart is probably the best way to do this.

NotesNotes
• Some rules of thumb
– One slide per minute of your talk
– Bullet text is one line at most• Slides are not meant to be read
– Half of your slides should have a figure or visual• But no gratuitous “art”
– Make sure font sizes are large enough for all to see
– Neatness counts• Sloppy presentation implies sloppy thinking and sloppy work
– You can find example talks here:• http://www.csee.usf.edu/~christen/pubs.html
This is an example of
a bad slide. It has far
too much text on it.
