Presentations: You are not expected to present papers that are finished and very polished (although it is fine if they are). On the other side, make sure you have enough to speak about coherently for 30 minutes or 1 hour. In between these two extremes, anything is allowed for, from presenting drafts to outlining ideas that you plan to pursue and want to get early feedback on.
