As you read the slides and comment on each other's presentations, keep in mind the purpose and audience of the presentation (that is, to convince a senior executive and others in the organization to proceed with the system changes you propose).

Procedure for Presenters

1. In a low voice, make your presentation to your editor. Try to use your paper slides as you would if they were projected on the screen behind you. You can point to sections of the paper as if you had a light pen pointing to the screen.
2. Keep these draft slides; you will turn them in with your final System Change Proposal presentation slides. (If you are have already given a System Introduction presentation, you can turn in these draft slides today.)

Procedure for Editors

1. Write "Edited by" and your name at the top of the author's printed out slides. You can write any comments on the back, or on another sheet of paper.
2. Listen attentively to the author's presentation. Keep an eye on the clock, and when four minutes have elapsed, say "Please wrap up in one minute."
3. After the presentation, discuss these questions with the author:

1. Were there any errors in spelling, grammar, or punctuation?
2. Did any choices of font, color, indentation, or graphics seem suboptimal to you?
3. Did any slide break the "30 word maximum" rule, and if so, was that a problem?
4. Did seeing the slides add anything to the presentation?
5. Did the presentation have a satisfactory introduction and conclusion?
6. Did the presenter try to cover too much in the time span?
7. Did the presentation meet the needs of a smart, busy executive?
8. Can you make any suggestion for improving the presentation?
