Tomorrow's Presentation
Tomorrow I volition last presenting in i lawsuit to a greater extent than at the same symposium where I had my starting fourth dimension presentation almost my enquiry i twelvemonth ago.
Last year, my presentation wasn't bad, but in that place was a lot of room for improvement. I've corrected around of final year's mistakes in addition to wanted to write this out hither for myself to come across what I've learned, to come across if I'll direct maintain to a greater extent than to add together to this inwards i twelvemonth from now, in addition to mayhap novel PhD students tin larn from this too.
1. Prepare ahead
Last year, I had to brand my presentation the afternoon earlier the 2nd of the presentation. I wasn't expecting that I would last presenting. I checked the box "I would similar to give a presentation" but afterward on I heard that solely tertiary in addition to quaternary twelvemonth PhD students would last presenting. Then, the solar daytime earlier the symposium, I came dorsum to my usage inwards the afternoon, after arriving from a transatlantic flying inwards the morning. Totally jet-lagged I looked at my mail, to uncovering out that I would last the starting fourth dimension i to present. If solely I would direct maintain had around slides create (just inwards case, they ever come upward inwards useful), if solely I would direct maintain an stance of an outline.... but no,I had to start from scratch at that rattling moment, I fifty-fifty had to acquire in addition to accept pictures inwards the lab. I've learned that it is rattling expert to ever direct maintain something ready, but inwards case.
2. Know your audience
Last year, I didn't banking enterprise fit to whom I would last speaking. I but assumed everyone out in that place would last a structural engineer. I didn't know it would last opened upward to all civil engineers in addition to architects. So I straight off jumped into the substance of the problem, alongside non much introduction. This year, most of my presentation is figures in addition to concepts.
3. Try out to operate alongside a fundamental message
This year, I made a slide alongside my fundamental message which I volition demonstrate twice during my presentation. I hope that volition brand my most of import hypothesis clear enough. It's the starting fourth dimension time I endeavor this approach.
4. The importance of the Q&A
Last twelvemonth I answered around questions every bit good rapidly because I stance they were irrelevant. I intend the asker was non every bit good happy almost that. I hope I won't produce this again, in addition to I hope I'll endeavor to allow the asker complete his or her enquiry earlier interrupting (very hard for me).
Alright, at nowadays I'll acquire dorsum to packing my handbag for the symposium. I'm non nervous (yet), which is also an improvement every bit compared to final year.
