Presentation Style Guidelines

When you are asked to show the steps of a calculation,

• Write all your steps vividly, so that they show up clearly when put under the document camera. (This is not a homework paper. It is a presentation.)
• Work down the page. Each new equation should get a new line. Don't work in columns.

When you are asked to make a graph,

• Use a whole page in landscape orientation just for your graph.
• Draw your illustration vividly, so that it shows up clearly when put under the document camera. (This is not a homework paper. It is a presentation.)
• Put \((x,y)\) coordinates on all important locations. (Write exact symbols, not decimal approximations.)
  • Any points that are given in the problem description
  • Any points that you are asked to find
  • All axis intercepts (for Cartesian lines)
  • The missing endpoint (for Poincaré Type I lines)
  • The center of the semicircle and the two missing endpoints (for Poincaré Type II lines)
• Add any quantities, such as distances, that you were asked to compute. (Write exact symbols, not decimal approximations.)
