A presentation is an image of you and your work. If you want to make the best possible impression in the short time available, presentation is the best way to do it. An effective presentation requires not only good content, but also a good way of delivering it, in order to maintain the interest of the audience.
Steps
Step 1. There are some guiding principles to follow as you prepare a presentation:
- The semplicity.
- The clarity.
- Don't let technology dominate the presentation. You want the audience to remember the quality of your research, not how good you are at using PowerPoint.
Step 2. You need to consider some elements when preparing a presentation:
- What are the key points you want to propose?
- What is your audience?
- What interests the public?
- How knowledgeable is he on your topic? Do you expect data or concepts?
Step 3. Remember:
A presentation is different from a report. Don't try to put everything in your presentation.
Step 4. Sources of information are the key to success
We need to reflect on:
- What to enter, and what can be deleted?
- How much detail do you need? (Remember, your audience's time and attention is limited. For any part of your presentation, ask yourself "So what?")
Step 5. Logistic aspects to consider:
- How big is the room where you will speak?
- How much time do you have available?
- What time is your speech scheduled?
- Consider carefully whether you will depend on someone else to produce the presentation - if so, set aside an adequate amount of time.
Step 6. Equipment to consider:
- Ask what you have available and what you need to bring with you.
-
Consider all the equipment you need
- Internet connection
- Computer
- Microphone
- Software
