Some Remarks

  • Goal of your presentation:

– Impart knowledge to the audience (not show off that you understood the paper)

slide-18
SLIDE 18

18

Preparation

  • Read the paper and background material
  • Make sure you understand the subject

– talk to assistant or contact authors if questions remain

  • Think about potential visual aids, e.g., demos,

videos, etc.

  • Consider other material, e.g., handouts

Structure your talk

  • Introduction

– general context, motivation, problem statement

  • Contents of the paper

– core points of the paper, key contributions, relevant results, relation to other work

  • Discussion

– evaluate the paper from your own perspective – discuss pros and cons, talk about your own ideas for future work

Get your message across

  • Stress the important points

– “Tell'em what you are going to tell'em. Tell'em. Then tell'em what you told'em.”

  • Consider your audience

– what prior knowledge can you expect? – how can you make sure people will be able to follow your presentation?

The Talk

  • Practice your talk!

– get feedback from others or use video camera – check the timing

  • Talk to the audience not to the screen
  • Talk clearly, not too slow or too hasty
  • Give the audience time to understand what you

tell them

slide-22
SLIDE 22

22

Things to avoid

  • Exceed the time limit
  • Never practice the talk
  • Lose yourself in detailed, confusing explanations
  • Too many slides, equations, too many bullets
  • Fonts too small, too much text
  • Discontinuous speech
  • Ignore the audience

say.” -Groucho Marx

Some quotes

  • “A speech is a solemn responsibility. The man

who makes a bad speech to two hundred people wastes only half an hour of his own time. But he wastes one hundred hours of the audience’s time-more than four days-which should be a hanging offense” - Jenkin Lloyd Jones

Some quotes

I know what I ought to do, but don’t know where to begin.” -Stephen Bayne
