Tutorial#

You will create a ~15-minute video presentation on a topic of your choice that relates to the content of the course.

You may select any topic, provided it is connected to the themes and material we have covered.

You may choose any presentation style, but your tutorial must involve you actively presenting (e.g., speaking, writing, or demonstrating). A slide deck with only text and no narration does not meet the requirement.

Formats#

Your tutorial could take different forms, such as:

  • A mini-lecture that introduces and explains a theory or technique mentioned in class but not covered in depth.

  • A worked example, where you apply course techniques to a system or problem inspired by your interests, walking through the steps and explaining your reasoning, figures, or results.

Each tutorial must be accompanied by a well-documented code notebook/Colab that supports and complements your presentation.

If you are unsure, please reach out to the course staff as early as possible.

Peer Review#

After submission, your peers will:

  • Watch your recording.

  • Explore your accompanying notebook.

  • Ask clarifying questions.

  • Provide constructive feedback on your tutorial.

Submission Requirements#

You will submit:

  • A video recording of your tutorial.

  • Your code notebook/Colab.

The exact video submission instruction and peer review format will be finalized later. One option is to upload your video to a private YouTube channel, which would allow classmates to post comments and questions directly, and also answer other questions too.

Tips for a Successful Tutorial#

  • Choose a relevant topic: Select a subject that aligns with the course material and interests you.

  • Engage your audience: Present the material clearly and confidently, using examples or demonstrations where appropriate.

  • Support with code: Ensure your accompanying notebook or Colab is well-documented, easy to follow, and enhances your presentation.

  • Be creative: Feel free to use visuals, analogies, or interactive elements to make your tutorial memorable.

  • Practice: Rehearse your presentation to ensure it fits within the time limit and flows smoothly.

If you have any questions about the requirements or need guidance on your topic, please reach out to the course staff.
