REMINDERS:
Tips from TAs:
- Be creative with your hooks: tell a personal
story, play a quick game with the audience, show an image or thing that gets the
audience's attention, have the audience close their eyes and imagine, turn off
the lights, present a magic trick, play a musical instrument, pass out food,
stand on your head, tell a joke, juggle, ride the unicycle, dance, etc.
- If
you use PowerPoint or other presentation software, practice in the lab
room to make sure everything works. Use http://resource25.uvm.edu
to find out when the lab room is free. You are responsible for
knowing how to use the computer/projector/doc camera etc., not the TAs.
- Informational
Presenters: Don't Read from a script! Use a presentation outline:
One page, big font, just reminders of what to cover (not a script).
- Endings
should be POWERFUL! Figure out something to do or say that will be
memorable just before you end with "Thank You". Do not peter out
and say "That's about it.....". Your Last words should be "Thank
You"!
- Pause for effect!
The pause should be obvious (2 seconds long or more).
"Pausing" to find your place does not count for a dramatic pause.
- Master of Ceremonies should stand up in the front of the lab at the end of
each presentation and ask "Who has a question for our speaker?" It is
the
job of the MC to prompt questions, not the speaker!
- Posture: avoid the slow rock and roll, hands in pockets, and leaning on one
leg. Instead practice returning to the neutral stance, and natural gestures.
- If you are Passionate, your presentation will go well, even if you make some mistakes.
- Follow the dress code. Neat, clean, conservative clothing (avoid:
jeans, T-shirts, hoodies, hats, faded, stained, ripped, holes, navel or boxer exposure)
- Don't forget to repeat any questions asked at the end.
