Presenting for 3861

Here is a light website that I found for presenting... more to be added...

We are trying something different this time round that hopefully will b e more beneficial as a way to describe your professional practice degree to others as well as to tell your colleagues about the research you did in your workplace.

Any questions or run-throughs - ask your advisors... Powerpoints are quite easy to do.

Rules of thumb:
1. 1 minute per slide - so if you have more or less time in the 5 minutes - think about how that is going to work - so 30 slides packed with text are too much - fewer slides and less text - simplify
2. Try not to use a font of less than 18 for visibility
3. Some of the text right toward the edges may be difficult to read - but it is good to fill the slide.
4. Images and diagrams work well with speaking
5. You don't need to write down everything on a slide that you are going to say.
6. Remember your audience - what will they be interested in - you have professionals and academics represented on the 20th Jan.
7. Yes some questions will be from people that have read your 12K word project - so yes be able to answer about the literature, findings and conclusions - so this 'viva' gives evidence that you have done a lot of hard work. Explaining your project will be at the heart of the presentation.

I could go on...

We will be trying to tape on audio or video a few of these for other BAPP students but the emphasis will be on your learning.
