Homework 6
 Pick a software product and use the Microsoft Privacy
Guidelines to analyze this software.
• List all the applicable guidelines and try to determine whether/how
the software complies with each one by using the software and
reading its documentation. In the case of violations, what changes
would you recommend to comply with these guidelines.
 Pick a government program designed to gather
surveillance or intelligence data on US citizens
• Describe the program, including the kind of data collected, how it
is/was collected, and the government's intended use of this data.
• Describe the current status (Is it ongoing or has it been
terminated? If terminated, is it continuing under a new name or in
a new form?).
• Describe the privacy concerns raised by the program and any
protections proposed or put in place to mitigate these concerns.

Research and Communication Skills
Plan your talk
 Make an outline of what you want to talk about
 No need to present every detail of your paper
• Your presentation should motivate people who find it interesting to
read your paper
 Consider the background of your audience
• If they are experts, focus on the details of your research and
results
• If they are not experts, spend time on background and motivating
the problem
 Consider how much time you have (10 minutes
MAXIMUM + 5 minutes for questions)

Research and Communication Skills
Making slides
 Use easy-to-read fonts
 Avoid text < 20 pt font
 Use a simple slide design, no distracting background
images
 Use a color scheme with high contrast
 Avoid animation unless it helps illustrate your point

Research and Communication Skills
Slide content
 Are slides lecture notes/handouts?
• For a class or tutorial, slides may double as lecture notes
 more content on slides
• For a research presentation, your paper is usually the “handout”
 less content on slides
 Don’t try to put everything on the slide
 Don’t include text unless you want people to read it
• If people are reading your slides they are not listening to you
 Keep text short
 Don’t put too much math on a slide
 Just include key points, examples, etc.
 A figure may be worth 1000 words
