+      {\bf Evaluation criteria:}
+
+      Each project has three elements that are graded: (i) the code,
+      (ii) the slides/figures, and (iii) the presentation.
+
+      \vspace{.5cm}
+
+      The {\bf code} and the {\bf presentation} should be uploaded to
+      ILIAS before the presentations start on Thursday. Everything
+      should be bundeled into a {\em single} zip-file. The
+      presentation should be handed in as pdf.
+
+      \vspace{.5cm}
+
+      The {\bf code} should be exectuable without any further
+      adjustments from us. This means that you should include all
+      additional functions you wrote and the data into the
+      zip-file. The {\em main script} should produce the same {\em
+      figures} that you use in your slides. The figures should follow
+      the guidelines for proper plotting as discussed in the first
+      statistics lecture. The code should be properly commented and
+      comprehensible by third persons (use proper and consistent
+      variable names).
+
+      \vspace{.5cm}
+      
+      The {\bf slides} should be handed in along with the code and in
+      pdf format. We will store them all on one computer to allow fast
+      transitions between talks. The {\bf presentation} itself should
+      be {\em at most} 10min long and be held in English. In the
+      presentation you should (i) briefly describe the problem, (ii)
+      explain how you solved it algorithmically (don't show your
+      entire code), and (iii) present figures showing your results.
