This document provides instructions for instructors and teaching assistants to set up and provide feedback for student team presentations using the LaunchPad Central (LPC) platform. It outlines how to create a shared Dropbox folder for student presentation files, set up a new presentation event in LPC linked to the Dropbox folder, and how instructors can then access and leave feedback on each team's presentation on the day of their event. Guidelines are also provided for the type of feedback instructors should focus on to help students improve.

1. Preparing for Team Presentations
For Instructors and Teaching Assistants

2. Presentations
Please note that these guidelines are for instructors, teaching
assistants, or program directors that are leading a group of
teams.
The following will show how to set up the back-channel for
leaving feedback on team presentations.

3. Dropbox Setup
An important step to take before anything, is to create a folder
in Dropbox where the actual presentation files will be saved.
Once you have created a Dropbox folder that all the teams can
save their files to, copy the “Share Link”.

4. Login to LPC
Now that you have the “Share Link” for the Dropbox Folder, you
should login to LPC as your FACULTY account.
