1	Presentation Guidelines Module 8 KAN Min-Yen
2	Topic depth One to two papers relevant to the area Must have direct relevance to DL (e.g., don’t choose a generic clustering paper, needs to apply to DL directly) If assigned topic area is too large, scale back (e.g., Music and Speech in DL) Should be presented in more depth than the average paper I discuss in class I only have about 2-3 minutes per paper
3	Presentation format & timing 20 minutes of presentation (max 10 slides) 2 minutes (1 slide) to introduce the problem 2 minutes to define the problem 2 minutes evaluation 2 minutes conclusions The rest is up to you. I will give you a 2 minute warning 5 minutes for questions You should be prepared to ask questions especially if it is not your week to present Participation during these presentations is weighted higher
4	Speaker format 2 speakers (each gives a mini-lecture) Should have common introduction and conclusion 1 speaker and 1 answerer 1 speaker and 1 preparer
5	Other details Will be the same grade for both students unless your team tells me otherwise Practice at least once Otherwise, you’ll probably run over time Anticipate questions Send me your slides (.PDF or .PPT) to post to IVLE after your presentation Think about publishing your slides, survey paper on the web to help others
6	Some presentation guidelines Introduction: Involve your audience immediately and throughout the presentation (1) Tell them what you're going to say, (2) say it, & (3) tell them what you said Questions: Carefully listen to questions before answering Acknowledge the validity of an appropriate question Don't answer a question that you don't know Visual aids: Use 1 figure per minute at most, & 1 figure per 2 minutes at best Make every figure interesting Simplify your figures, and then make them simpler. Explain your figures in detail (including defining axes) Use figures as a memory (numbers & words) crutch Don't read from text figures (face audience & paraphrase). Use a CONCLUSION or SUMMARY figure to show you're done
7	Overall Grading Metrics Oral Presentation Skills: Correct use of English. Logical presentation. Conclusions demonstrate critical thinking. Emphasize important points. Management of time limits (15-20 minutes). Good eye contact, do not read presentation. Appropriate non-verbal communication Slides: Make sure your slides are readable. Use short phrases on slides, say the full sentence in class. Chose a high contrast color scheme and font (generally sans-serif). Don’t put too much text on a slide. Make use of graphics but make sure the graphics do not distract.
