Your assignment this week is to give a live presentation of your proposal idea in class on March 4. Your presentation should cover the following elements:
Background and rationale for your proposed research
Questions of interest (or hypotheses to test)
Methods/approach
Anticipated results
Implications (intellectual merit)
Mark will evaluate the quality of your presentation based on the following criteria:
Title slide with name, affiliation, and contact info
Acknowledgment of collaborators and funders
Layout/design of the slides (eg, good color contrast, appropriate font size)
Speaking clearly and addressing the audience rather than the computer or slides
Presenting the background and clear rationale for the study
Brief explanation of the methods or approach
Highlighting expected results and any potential difficulties
Brief comment(s) on the implications of the research
Appropriate ending
Please note that due to our tight time frame in class, you
are required to upload your presentation no later than 12:30 PM Pacific
Standard Time on March 4 using this link. Also note that
presentations will only be accepted in either
presentation (.ppt, .pptx) or
PDF (.pdf) formats. If you use an
.html format (eg, ioslides, Xaringan), you will need to
print your slide deck to a .pdf format using your browser’s
print function.
Here is the schedule for the day. Note that everyone has a total of 8 minutes for their presentation. This includes Mark’s introduction of you and any Q&A.
