Are you going to use Resources
•
•
•
•
Useful to support your message?
Not to be a hindrance
Use confidently
For example, if you are talking about a particular
artifact (newspaper, musical instrument) you
could have one with you;
• Or a website that shows them being played?
• For my presentation on presentations, I chose
the following resource:

References
• The proof you have researched;
• So list them;
• And make sure the majority are considered
established, academic evidence
• Does that preclude websites...

Considerations
• Manchester United is owned by the Galziers
• It came 2nd in the premiership last year
• It was knocked out of the European
championships in the group stages
• Alex Ferguson is its manager;

• Players list
CS4042 / CS4032 – Directed Study
Considerations
• Are you going to use notes? A crutch, not a
wheelchair…
• As you pass the presentation between people,
make sure you summarize your section in a
sentence or two and introduce the next person
who will talk about “……..”
• People should be ready when it is their turn –
smooth handover

Timing
• You have 3 minutes to make your presentation
with 4 minutes for Q&A
• Lecturers will time the full presentation but it is
your responsibility to make sure that each of
you gets approximately 3 minutes to speak
– You will need someone to keep time
– You should practice beforehand
• When questions are asked: you should know
which of you is taking that ‘topic’

Powerpoint
• Use features if they are useful!
• Try not to distract audience with their over-use
• However:
– Clever use of powerpoint features can make a
presentation come to life
• Sound / Movies / Pictures
– Use them to supplement your presentation NOT as a
replacement for you making the presentation!
– They do make it more engaging;

Other Suggestions
• Know your topic
• Distract by focusing audience on Powerpoint /
other props?
• Imagine your audience naked;
• Remember that this is your specific topic. Your
lecturers are more generalists so you may know
more than them;
• Make eye contact;
• Talking too much;
• Rehearse, Rehearse, Rehearse;
