Tips on paper presentation

• Specify Roles
• Paper Presenter
• Discussion moderator
• Time Management
• Control time: Know how much time you have and allocate it wisely (suggestion: 10min presentation + 5min Q/A + 25min Discussion). Use a timer during practice to ensure you stay within limits.
• Pacing: Avoid rushing through slides. Practice a steady, clear delivery.
• Buffer time: Leave a few minutes for Q&A or overrun.
• Slide Design
• Be precise but accurate: Focus on essential points. Use bullet points rather than long paragraphs.
• Limit content: Keep each slide focused on one topic or key idea.
• Use visuals: Charts, graphs, and images help illustrate concepts more effectively than text alone.
• Consistency: Maintain a uniform design—fonts, colors, and layout—throughout your slides.

Tips on paper presentation

• Engagement
• Eye contact: Don’t just read off the slides; engage with the audience.
• Voice modulation: Vary your tone to emphasize key points and maintain interest.
• Pause: Use pauses effectively to let key points sink in.
• Practice
• Rehearse: Practice multiple times, including in front of a mock audience, to ensure you’re comfortable with the flow. You are welcomed to use our office hours.
• Feedback: Get feedback on your clarity, pacing, and slide quality.
• Handling Questions
• Prepare for Q&A: Anticipate questions and prepare concise, thoughtful responses.
• Be concise: Answer questions directly and avoid veering off topic.
