Presentation Transcript

  1. Comments from your last final presentation (fall 2011)

  2. Presentation Skills • Be relaxed and attentive • Do not memorize your presentation • Present to all the members of the audience, not just to one person (e.g. client) • Don’t speak too slow or too fast • Minimize reading from your card notes • Don’t get mad at evaluators • Minimize use of “uhs” and “ums”

  3. Presentation Skills (cont.) • When referring to a client or a member of the audience, make sure to use the appropriate title (e.g. Dr.Cheon) • Try not to use any spanglish (e.g. “bueno”, “este”) • Keep eye contact with your audience • Be able to answer questions • Minimize extraneous motion

  4. Presentation Flow • Don’t forget to introduce your team members • Introduce the problem and purpose of the project • Have a well defined and structured presentation (i.e. story telling) • Don’t jump a lot between different presenters

  5. Presentation Flow (cont.) • Keep track of the time when presenting (5 min. per person, 5 min. demo) • Use appropriate exits (transitions between presenters) • Finish your presentation with a strong conclusion

  6. Content • Make sure to understand your project • Do not have too much or too little content to present (e.g. one team member presents all the diagrams and another just the introduction) • Make sure that your terminology and definitions are correct • Present all of your main diagrams (e.g. class and subsystems diagrams)

  7. Diagram Presentation • Explain how to read your diagrams (i.e. quick overview of diagram notation) • Explain what type of diagram is being presented • Keep story telling when presenting your diagram • Check for consistency in diagrams

  8. Diagram Presentation (cont.) • Don’t say “I don’t know how to fix this diagram”. Try it! • Use clear, big, and organized diagrams (e.g. use high quality or vector-based diagrams) • Use the same level of abstraction within the same diagram • Don’t make your diagrams too abstract

  9. Miscellaneous • Handouts • Make sure your handouts are complete and updated • Slides • Don’t forget titles • Check your grammar
