Below is how I have slotted in the speakers, honouring everyone's preferences. I will be trying to do a small speech on Day 1 and I want to have time at the end of Day 2 to offer some reflection on the course, hand out some prizes, acknowledge each student and invite final discussion from the class. I also need to set aside a bit of class time for course evaluation completion. Order was decided randomly (or to respect hard constraints); all talks are pre-recorded but speakers need to be on hand just after their slot. All students are expected to attend both classes and to listen to all talks. Talks are 10 minutes max. We budget 2 minutes for comments after and transition. Talks CANNOT eat into the transition time; we will allow about 20 seconds over. july 19 (10 talks) 9am Solomon 912 Vikram 924 Selena 936 William 948 Sairaj 1000 Jimmy 1012 important speech and break 1030 Marium 1042 Amin 1054 Abhranil 1106 Mu'men 1118 (final announcements) july 26 (11 talks) 9am Genyi 912 Harrum 924 Doaa 936 Joseph 948 Daniel 1000 Mahmoud 1012 brief break 1020 Julie 1032 Taite 1044 Abdul 1056 Hanqi 1108 Zeshan 1120 (course evals) 1135 discussion of course, prizes etc to 1150 After each presentation I will say a few words to the speaker re their project (and possibly also re their talk). Apart from perhaps a very brief "ask" from me, we will not try to fit in a QA during class time. Students are actually encouraged to reach out to peers through email after class. We need to keep to a strict timing. Gaurav and I may integrate one opportunity for student questions during class. Details will come later as will info from Gaurav on how best to record your talk and when to forward it to him.
