- Please arrive early. We shall start at 0900 sharp.
- We will be using one laptop (Apple MacBook) which will already be connected to the projector. Therefore, you may either a) e-mail your slides to me the night before the presentation day and I will prepare the files in a folder on the Desktop; or b) bring your own pendrive with the slides loaded on it. We want to ensure a smooth transition between speakers.
- You may use MS PowerPoint, Apple Keynote, PDF or HTML format (e.g. Canva) for your slides.
- Please kindly ensure that your talk will be at most 15 minutes in length. The talks will be moderated and you may be asked to stop prematurely if you exceed the given time.
- Condensing two semesters worth of work into 10 minutes can be challenging. Choose only the most important and noteworthy results to share.
- Ensure that you presentation is cohesive: there should be a beginning, a middle and an end which all flows together nicely.
- If you're struggling what to talk about, just picture telling the audience a story: what is the research problem, what have you done, and what have you found out?
- Practice, practice, practice! Public speaking may not come naturally to everyone, so it really helps if you practice beforehand. This way you can time your presentation accordingly and make adjustments if necessary, too.
- Supplement your slides with appropriate graphics/tables and plan what you want to say during the presentation. It's a bad habit to just read off the presentation slides.
- Do not panic. You are in a safe environment. No one will make fun of you if you slip up!
- Speak clearly and at a normal pace.
- Anticipate what questions might be asked of your presentation so you can be prepared.
- Have fun, and don't forget to smile!
To ensure fairness, the order in which you are presenting has been randomised.
