Revision as of 22:22, 5 February 2015

You have been assigned to a team of 3 or 4 people. Each team is responsible for two 30 minute presentations. I expect the presentations will expand to 40 minutes with questions from the audience. Your presentation will be assessed by your peers in the class.

What you should do

  • Meet with your team as soon as possible.
  • Appoint a leader for your team. This leader will be responsible for communications with the instructor.
  • Choose the papers you want to cover. Select at MOST 3 papers. It is not feasible to cover more than 3 papers in a 30 minute talk.
  • Check the paper list with the instructor.
  • Decide which computer will be used for the presentation, and test it in the classroom. There is a VGA connection and a headphone jack connection.
  • Select ONE PRIMARY paper that the class should read.
  • Create two easy multiple choice questions from that paper and send them to the instructor.

What should the presentation be like?

The presentation should be entertaining and informative. Present the paper as an advocate of the paper. Videos are good, props are good, singing is good, running around is good, asking the audience questions is good. Here's an outline you can use for typical research papers, but variations are OK. This organization doesn't work as well for biology papers.
