Session 7 - Paper 3

1

• Some background, but not all the way back to Ohm’s law
• Motivation - (why was my work on this not a waste of time), but a bullet in an Outline slide should never be more than one line
• I did this great thing (design, simulations…)
• And also this (measurements, sold the product for millions…)
• Summary and Future work (especially if there really is a plan to continue)
• And now it’s just too many bullets for an outline slide
• The “7-3” in the filename represent Session 7, Paper 3, so you need to change that according to your session and paper numbers.

Outline

2

• Bullets should be short
• Don’t try to pack too much. The audience will be seeing many presentations that same day and there’s just so much that one can absorb…
• Got to leave room for the graphics.
• The graphics shouldn’t have fonts that are impossible to read from a distance!

​

​

​

​

Slides with a block diagram or schematics

3

• Here too, make sure to leave room for the graphics
• Reduce verbiage and enlarge graphics as much as possible

​

​

​

​

Slides with measured or simulated results

Don’t expect the audience to be able to read tiny fonts like these in your graphics

4

• Large and clear fonts
• Not too many digits. Nobody cares about that 3^rd or even 2^nd digit after the decimal. It only makes it hard to read.
• So think about the true significance of each digit (do we really need 0.1%?!)

A slide with a Comparison Table

5

• Make the point that this whole presentation was worth attending with statements that serve to ‘market’ your work (as in the next bullet).
• The most power-efficient transmitter for automotive radar was demonstrated in a standard CMOS fabrication process.
• Bullets should preferably not be long. You accompany them with verbal explanations. Color helps draw attention to key words.
• And there shouldn’t be too many bullets!
• Speak of future work (even if you’re not 100% sure you’ll actually do that work)
• No need for a dedicated “Thank You!” or “Questions?” slide at the end. �The session chair will always remember to ask the audience if they have questions. You may put this at the bottom of this slide, so that the audience will be staring at your concluding bullets at the end and not at an empty slide.

Thank you for your attention!

​

Summary or Conclusion Slide

6

• You may list papers/references, as you had in your paper
• You may acknowledge the contributions of those who didn’t appear as coauthors.
• Acknowledge sources of financial support
• If this is your last slide, then go back to the concluding slide while the audience is coming up with questions.
