Demonstrating familiarity with your findings and presenting clear points within the allocated time limit will meet the assessment criteria. Reading from any source (phone, notes, a monitor, or the projected screen) will result in several criteria being deemed unsatisfactory. Further, be aware that an observed lack of familiarity with your work is a common indicator of academic misconduct and is likely to result in close analysis of your written submission for originality.
