Announcements (previous ones)

The TAs and myself are working on grading the midterms. They will be ready next week.

The final memo regarding the SDL project has been posted. One important point was omitted:

For the HAZOP study: please investigate only one unit, 2 nodes, 3 parameters per node, and 3 guide words.

A lot of positive comments regarding today's troubleshooting exercise. I'm glad that most of you found it a useful learning tool and in future years I will have 2 tutorials on this topic. Don't worry about the grading too much on this one; we recognize this is your first attempt at troubleshooting, and it was especially hard for the first troubleshooter in the triad. Remember what you learned today (i.e. what you wrote in the evaluation) and try to apply it in the final exam: I want to and I can!

For the SDL project presentations: a good rule of thumb for presenters is that you talk about a slide for about 1.5 to 3 minutes. That implies you need 5 to 7 slides for the 10 minutes of talking, and 1 or 2 extra for the class activity: so a total of about 8 slides. There are very few exceptions to this guideline, so please don't generate a lot of slide material: this is one case where "less is more".
