This workshop helps students to identify and avoid the common pitfalls when presenting in front of an audience. The trainer will introduce and impart various techniques to improve and boost students’ confidence during presentation.
Students in this course will understand how little written text matters compared to who they are, what they say, and how they visually support their presentation. They will also tackle the three greatest obstacles that all presenting scientists face: fear, an over-technical text-heavy presentation, and a less-knowledgeable-than-expected audience. Through systematically rooting out what lessens presentation impact, having a framework for slide preparation, and preparing a live delivery, the presenting scientist acquires confidence, fluidity in speech, and authority when handling questions.
Specific activities that students will undertake include slide redesign, giving an oral presentation in front of an audience, and a highly rated exclusive feature of this class: a complete tutorial on how to master Q&A with practical exercises.
