Just one observation about the presentations to the Jury. I think ALL groups need to understand better (a) the mechanics of Oral presentation and (b) the EFFECTIVE use of Powerpoint.
As you know, virtually all of you have made good-to-excellent) Oral presentations in the first Sem. As we learnt there you have to get to the point quickly - and select, select, select. Don't make it a verbal reading of your Written Report - the structures are ENTIRELY DIFFERENT (as you know).
Re Powerpoint, remember this is essentially a graphic medium, not words - words -words. You have to interpret many of the words into graphic language. Also, my own experience is about 12-15 slides for a 3-hour lecture, 4-5 slides (preferably animated) per hour - that's all. If you like, you can always keep back-up slides, to be presented ONLY if asked for by a juror. But your main presentation, if you are allowed a prepared presentation, should be much, much shorter.

I'll be happy to help any group with their PPt. All the best!
