Biomedical Imaging - BioE 1330

Projects

Projects include a slide presentation (6 minutes, max) and a paper (3-4 pages double spaced, with at least one scientific reference, put figures and references after the text pages). Slide shows will be evaluated using the following criteria:

1. How understandable was the presentation of the material?
2. How well did the presentation tie in with and extend the course material?
3. How well did the presentation fit within the time constraints?

Students will be required to use powerpoint on the windows platform and send their slides to the appropriate TA at least 24 hours before their talk.

The term paper corresponding to your slide presentation is due on the last day of classes, by email, to your TA moderator and Dr. Stetten, along with any .pdf you have of the most important reference (don't bother scanning chapters from textbooks if that's all you have).
