*How to give good constructive criticism*
The sandwich rule, be very very specific on the points, and sincere,

>Opening compliment - "The case examples meshed exceedingly well with the points on the real concern for privacy and exploitation."
>Specific critique - "The relationship between personal expectations to privacy vs. the existing legislation on the area was unclear. The transitioning between the major points was a bit confusing, it may have been due to the number of technical terms that I'm not familiar with."
>Closing, positive statement - "I'm impressed with how well the questions were handled, especially in connecting relevant data in addressing the questions on the recent court cases."
-----------------------

*How not to give constructive criticism*
"Good job on the presentation. You guys should have been more prepared. Slides look pretty."
"Interesting case examples. You lost me half way through the session. I liked the last part."
