Time limits will be rigidly enforced.
I expect you all to attend all the presentations.
I also expect you to fill out the feedback and assessment forms I will provide.
i.e. you will be grading each others presentations. Paul and I will take this into account when assigning your final mark.
It is your responsibility to bring a laptop and to check beforehand that you can get it to work with the data projector.
On the same day as your talk please post on the blog your Powerpoint slides.
The material below is from John Wilkins one page guides and should be read and applied before giving your talk.

Thanks for the links, Ross!
ReplyDeleteSeems like it would be useful for our progress talks too.
I find the third link quite amusing, particularly the two fifth points:
Slides
Make sure at least one slide is unpside down or sideways -> relieves tension in the room...excellent reasoning, but perhaps a little hard to do that on Powerpoint (or beamer)...
Presentation
Wave the light pointer around the room...or at leastmove the beam rapidly about the slide image in small circles. If done properly, it will make 50% of the people in the front three row (and those with binoculars) sick
I must confess, when giving a presentation with a pointer, I have been tempted to wave the beam around just to seem how many people would follow it...
In a similar style to the links above, there is a cheery amusing physics presentation. I suppose it's similar to what we're doing in that we're linking work in the real world to what we have learnt.
