D2 presentations are very simple - you have 15 minutes to speak and 5 minutes for question time. You are to summarize your work and research for us. Think of this as an audio-visual version of your abstract. You may not read your abstract to us, but you may break down the main points into a ppt or prezi or similar and discuss the process and CONCLUSION you came to for your thesis. The A project is the one that has a great topic, a great execution and analysis of the research, and an interesting and engaging presentation. 



FYI: I use a method I call I/E/P for grading presentations -- 1 point for standing up, 1-3 for idea, 1-3 for execution, 1-3 for presentation. (10/10 points) Great job so far!
