INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORAL PRESENTATIONS 

- Each team is expected to present a 10 minutes talk. The talk will be 
  followed by 3 minutes of general questions. WE WILL ADHERE STRICTLY
  TO THE TIME ALLOCATION, SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR PRESENTATION FITS IN 
  10 MINUTES. Please make an appointment with Rongfeng to transfer your
  talk to the classroom console and test it by 7 pm on the eve of your 
  talk, as there will be no time to set up individual laptops on the day
  of the talk. In the unlikely event that during the test, we find that
  your presentation is incompatible with the console setup or OS, we 
  will make an exception and allow you to use your individual laptop.
  We will also use the copy of your talk supplied on the eve of your
  presentation for grading purposes

- The talk is to be given by one of member chosen by the team, or it can
  be split between several speakers. Rongfeng has already sent each team
  the email of team members so you can communicate. Questions at the end 
  of the talk will be addressed to the team as a whole, and those who are
  not making the oral presentation should take this opportunity to speak. 

- Each team member will have a 10 minute interview with the professor to
  discuss what he/she has learnt about the talk topic and answer a few 
   basic questions. A sign up sheet is available in Char Burke's office
  (RLM 15.222). PLEASE SIGN UP BY THURSDAY APRIL 24. 

-  Your talks should cover some of the following points and whatever 
   else you might find interesting:
a) Where is the facility located and why? When is it expected to
   be  operational? Who are the partner and institutions? 
b) What are the capabilities of the new facility e.g., operating 
   wavelengths, field of view, spatial resolution, collecting 
   area,  no of telescopes, any other relevant unique feature.
c) Which of these capabilities are particularly important in 
   allowing this facility to probe unchartered territories ?
   What new science questions on GALAXIES in particular will this 
   facility allow us to address? Try to illustrate your answer
   WITH ONE OR MORE SIMPLE EQUATIONS OR QUANTITATIVE ARGUMENTS.
   Many such arguments have been made in class regarding the 
   spatial resolution or seeing, processes traced at different
   wavelengths, Wien's law, the age and angular diameter distance
   at different redshifts, etc  
d) What are limitations of this facility?
