Presentation Day Signups

MFG479 Students,

Thank you for the quick responses clarifying your teams. Now that we know how exactly how many teams there are we can start the signups for presentation times.

As Prof. Richards previously announced, there will be no presentations Nov. 18th, however, the rest of the presentation days will go on as planned:

Day 1--Nov. 23
Day 2--Nov. 30
Day 3--Dec. 2
Day 4--Dec. 7
Day 5--Dec. 9

Each presentation day will have three teams presenting at the following times: 2:00pm, 2:25pm, and 2:50pm.


In order to be fair, signups will be done draft style, with each team receiving a random spot in the draft selection. For example:

If Team A receives the #2 pick, while Team B receives the #1 pick, then Team B will choose what day and time they would like to present first, followed by Team A.

Pick #1 -- Team B's preference will be filled first
Pick #2 -- Team A's preference will be filled second


Each team needs to send in their Top 3 day and time slot preferences and I will use these preferences when in it is that team's turn in the order. An example list of preferences would be:

Preference 1: Day 1--Nov. 23, 2:00pm
Preference 2: Day 2--Nov. 30, 2:25pm
Preference 3: Day 5--Dec. 9, 2:00pm


Of course, there will be teams that have had their choices previously selected by teams higher in the draft. In this case they will be put into a day and time that was closest to their 1st choice. However, if your choices were all on Day 1, and you are 15th in the order, do not be surprised if you are nowhere near Day 1.


Hopefully this made sense. To recap, each team (as in one per team) needs to send an email to mfg479@gmail.com including:

- "PresentationSignups" as the subject of the email
- Your team/business name & list of team members (some did not include team name previously)
- Your Top 3 preferences for presentation times



Please have this email sent by 5:00pm on Friday, Nov. 13, 2009. If your team's email is not received by that time, then your team will be assigned to whatever time slot is left.
