-The first part (15 minutes) is for you to give a presentation of your project.

You should focus on the problem that you have identified, how you solved it, the results you have obtained, a discussion of these results, and your conclusions. Try not to focus on technicalities or trivial/practical work. If you have for some reason made supplementary work after submission of your report, you may include this in the presentation. It is expected from you that you as a student are able to assess what material should be included in the presentation and how it should be presented.
