Project presentation
evaluation
CS681
In each category 5 is excellent and 1 is poor. You may leave items blank if you think you have insufficient information, but try not to do that very often. If some item has not been addressed and you think it should have been and you can’t figure out an answer based on what has been said, consider a low score. Base your answers on what you find out from the presentation – ignore anything you happen to know from hallway conversations or previous classes. The questionnaire is anonymous. Be honest – that will help your classmates more than uniformly high scores to make them feel good. You may write comments on the other side of this page – the more the better.

Suppose you are a venture capitalist with money to invest in some or all of these projects (in the public interest, not to make a profit). Specify how much of your capital you would give to each.. Explain your primary reasons in a sentence or two.
In order to keep the totals fair, you have $4 million to invest if you are on a three person team and $3 million if you are on a four person team. That way each team has $12M to distribute among its competitors, but the decisions about how to allocate that are individual decisions.
