     Your team will be expected to do 10 to 15 minute demonstration of your project during our last class period on April 13th. You will need to turn in a DVD containing your final report, all source code and executables, copies of your all draft documents, all powerpoint slides, individual postmortem reports using form from my web page, a one page poster using the CIS template from the web site using the form from the web page no later than 4/21/20. You will also need to upload team participation reports where you rate each member (including yourself using the sale 0 = nothing to 5 = great). I also expect your team to submit a set of time cards quantifying the effort using this spreadsheet http://www-personal.umd.umich.edu/~bmaxim/cis4962/final-time-card.xlsx
