“Name of Your Course Project”
Final Report

Sample Slides
The following slides are samples of what your
presentation should cover.
For example, the first few should give enough
information and background that others can
see the why, what, how, etc. that makes your
project important and how you conducted
your project, e.g. how/where you acquired
your data set, what analysis methodology you
used, etc. and then the sample slides
continue…
Your may use these slides as templates – that is just
fill them in with your own content as appropriate
You may build your own presentation from scratch –
just make sure that at least all this information is

project.
If you completed your project but were not

used to answer the research question,
challenge or issue you were considering you

If there is more that should be done to
strengthen or expand the conclusion you
reached you should discuss that here.
