The second progress report and presentation should complete two thirds of the total work from the feasibility study.

If you are following an iterative process this progress report should mark a major milestone when you can report visible progress to your client.

If you are following a modified waterfall process, this progress report will be the completion of the design phase. You should probably have already begun implementation.

The exact form of the report is up to you, but it should be well written and suitable to present to your client. In writing a design report, pay particular attention to the following:

  • The report must be understandable by the client.
  • The design should include both system and program design.
  • Design concepts must be clearly separated from requirements and the implementation.
  • Update your schedule to confirm that you will have an operational system by the end of the semester.

Assignment 4. final presentation

The final presentation and report will follow the same format as the others. You will make a 45 minute presentation to the client, the Instructor and the Teaching Assistant assigned to your project. Remember that everybody is expected to be a presenter at least once during the semester.

This presentation should describe to the client and the course team what has been accomplished during the semester and should include a demonstration of your system in operation. The documentation should be a complete hand-over package, which has been entered into your project management system, so that the client's staff can put your project into production, extend and maintain it.

can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Joseph Reply
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing
