Presentation Transcript

  1. You will be giving a presentation about an experiment you have done • Presentations will be on 4 dates with 3 or 4 slots • One slot: ~15 minutes • Each experiment should only be presented once a day, ideally each slot will have different experiment • Send me your slides (ppt or pdf) by Friday before presentation for comments

  2. Presentation Guidelines • The point of the presentation is: • For the audience to learn something about a topic • For the audience to learn about what you have done • It should contain: • Introduction of physics topic. Important concepts you will use. Motivation for the measurement • Introduction of experimental setup. What did you measure? How did you go about the experiment? • Results of your experiment • Conclusions from your results

  3. Some Tips on Slide Design • Your slides should support your talk not vice-versa • Use Diagrams and pictures wherever possible • Use bullet points to stress key points • Do not fill a page with text • The audience should not be distracted by your slides • Avoid cluttering, strange fonts, power point effects

  4. Some Tips on Delivery • Do rehearse!! It might be helpful to memorize introduction and slide transitions • Don’t just read the slides but present the content. • Speak clearly and loudly • Do not rush • Face the audience • Point out what you are talking about on the slides so the audience can follow you • Be concise: • 15 minutes overall: Plan on 10 minute talk + 5 minutes question • Plan at least 2 min per slide your talk should not have more than 5 slides

  5. Plots and Figures • Plots and figures are key to illustrate experimental setup and results • Diagrams are easier to grasp than text and formulas • Make the plots large enough so it can be read easily. Usually one or two plots per slide! Use bold lines and colors for emphasis. • Should be clearly labeled.

  6. Example Result Plot • Example datapoints • Theory predicts A=f(U) • This would indicate a systematic shift of the datapoints Measured Current vs. Voltage as X is changed I [A] U [V]
