GUIDELINES for STUDENT PRESENTATIONS
EVSS 650 SPRING 2013
- Free-form "mini-lectures, so anything is fair game. The guidelines
below might help you keep the monster under control, however.
- Plan for 30 minute presentation. Be prepared for questions
about the source/technology in general. You and I will share the
burden of answering questions.
- Give a brief description of how your energy source works. Talk
about the historical development (if any), the geographic distribution
of the resources, and how widespread it is currently being exploited.
- Try to estimate (or find estimates) of how much energy could
be available under reasonable scenarios. What limits the amount of
energy that could be available?
- Discuss and example of a working power plant. Summarize status
of this technology or the status of research and development needed
to bring this technology into more widespread use.
- I have materials that can help you get started. Feel free to
discuss things with me as you prepare your presentation.
- Prepare a handout to distribute to the class (and/or post on
the web site). I'm sure we'd all appreciate references to particularly
websites or other materials. I can do the photocopying for you if you want.
