Setup Procedure

- If a demonstration requires early setup, make note of that in this portion of the writeup
- If there is no setup, then this section can be removed.
Demo Procedure
- Provide a step by step procedure for the demonstration.
- be clear in explaining your steps; don’t take shortcuts or presume the reader knows all the jargon.
- If a part needs clarification, make sub steps.
- This is important for the passing of knowledge.
- Otherwise you end up with demo pages that, frankly, nobody can figure out.
- If something was turned on during the demo, include a step to turn the thing off at the end. I know it sounds silly, but trust me on this one.
Notes
- If the demonstration is for a complex topic or may be hard to explain, include here a description on How to Explain it. This is helpful not just for a professor who might be unsure of how this demonstration fits into their lesson, but also if this demonstration is being used for outreach!
- If the demonstration topic pairs well with another demonstration, include that here. This helps professors find demonstrations that go hand-in-hand.
