Host Based Security Presentation

Both on-line and in-class students will create a presentation of their paper. In-class: In-class students will present their paper to the rest of the class. Students who have similar paper topics can present as a group. (For instance, one quarter two students presented together with one focusing on MacOS security and the other focusing on Win7 security.) Students must create either a slide show or a web site; I have seen both used very effectively in the past. For your presentation, keep the following points in mind, as I will use these to evaluate the effectiveness of your presentation. For the presentation, content is less important than process and form; I will already have evaluated your content in the paper. The presentation is an opportunity to pass your knowledge on to your peers and that is what I will focus my evaluation on. Process (in-class only): 1) Introduce yourself 2) Introduce your topic 3) Proceed in a logical order through your presentation a. Speak – don’t read notes or slides b. Get away from the terminal c. Point at the projection/screen, not at the monitor d. Show good knowledge of material e. Stay on topic, at least most of the time f. If in a group, is everyone participating? 4) Ask for questions 5) End definitively Form (both in-class and on-line): 1) Have an appropriate level of detail on each slide / web page 2) Make it visually appealing, or at least not ugly 3) Coherent and well-organized Other details (in-class only): 1) Start time (do watch the clock) 2) Stop time (5-10 minutes for each presenter) 3) Attendance at others’ presentations
