Student Presentations

Final Public Oral Presentations by 8.13 Experimental Physics I Students

At the end of the fall term, 8.13 Experimental Physics I students give a 15-minute public oral presentation that is attended by all students in their section and any other interested parties. The public oral presentations are given in the style of a paper presented at a conference, with careful attention paid to the preparation of visual aids — in the form of an electronic presentation — and to the clarity of the oral discussion. Questions from classmates and the audience are encouraged, allowing for a general discussion of the experiment.
