Tips and concerns about presentation

Suggestions:

- Embellish with your speaking what is in the screen

- Humor is good but is difficult.

- If it's interesting for us, it will also be for the others.

- Divide picture and audio. How can one complement another?

- Time yourself: time all the parts of the presentation and practice that, so you can enjoy the performance.

- Being clear about what you want to say: practice and perform

- Reading from notes: it’s a barrier from audience

- Learn the bullet points

- You don’t have to have a power point if what you are doing is more powerful.

- You can use anything – the purpose of the presentation is to get the idea across.

- Make it work for you (Patrick)


What are our concerns about the VIVA?

- Technology won’t work.


- Speaking and explain what we want. Sometimes we can’t find the right words and we realise when speaking and became more nervous. Language is an issue.

> practice

> don’t rely just on words: gestures, images, sound…


- Maybe outcome is not so relevant: it’s a developing process. We don’t want to spoil it.

> at least, indicate your way


- Afraid of questions. Afraid of not being able to answer questions.

> don’t be afraid of saying that you should do more research.

> take note of interesting questions that might help project.

> if you don’t understand the question ask to repeat

> solidarity in the group


- Be boring

> listen to nice lecturers

> check pitch lecture from first term.

> we can’t expect everyone to be interested…

> eat carbohydrates in the morning and drink water.

> think about the dress: confortable.


- Not being clear

> be really critical next week


- How to synthesize – we don’t want to keep it too simple

> practice with people outside the course, people that


- Timing

> practice, practice, practice!


- How much research should we include?

> the enough to communicate the idea, to support what you’re saying.
