  1. How to Give a Great Job Research Industry T A L K Lori Breslow, Ph.D. Director, MIT Teaching and Learning Laboratory Sr. Lecturer, Sloan School

  2. Six Guidelines • Create a strategy • Focus on what you’ve discovered in your research • Respect the medium • “Write” for the ear • Establish rapport • Polish delivery • Use visual aids effectively • Prepare for questions

  3. Purpose Communicator Audience Analyzing the Situation C O N T E X T

  4. Deciding on a Strategy Content Structure Communicator’s Style Channel

  5. Communication Strategy • Content • How much literature to review? • How much theory to provide? • How much detail on methods? • How much detail on findings? • Style • Level of technical language • Appeal to general audience • Structure

  6. Questions to Be Answered: The Introduction About Content • What question are you trying to answer? • Why are you working on this question? About You • What kind of person are you? • Why should the audience pay attention to you?

  7. Questions to Be Answered: The Body About Content • How did you go about your work? • What did you find? About You • Do you know the field? • Do you understand research design? • Can you work with data? • Can you talk about ideas?

  8. Questions to Be Answered:The Conclusion About Content • What conclusion did you reach? • What does it mean? • How does it advance knowledge in the field? About You • Can you bring clarity out of data? • Do you understand the limitations of your work? • What are you interested in next?

  9. Effectively Designed Slides... • Are uncluttered and readable • Maintain consistent template, fonts, etc. • Are appropriately titled • Use color strategically • Limit special effects

  24. In order to write logically “Pile” similar information together and organize “piles” into a logical sequence using one of the 7 common organizational patterns.

  25. 1. Topical

  26. 2. Chronological

  27. 4. General to Specific (or specific to general)

  28. 6. Comparison (or Contrast) or Shanghai Sheboygan

  29. 7. Spatial

  30. Q&A • Before: plan, anticipate, rehearse • During • Listen before you answer • Clarify question (and make sure everyone heard the question) • Engage the question seriously • Avoid defensiveness • After: repeat main point
