Journal Presentation

 

        Students will be required to give on oral presentation of a scientific journal article as a component of their overall review article. The presentation should be 20 mins long and include at least 15 PowerPoint slides. This may include a title slide, outline slide, and questions slide.

The article presented should be an empirical journal article where experiments were done and results can be reported. Be careful not to choose a review article to present or and overly lengthy article that will be too hard to complete in 20 mins. It would also be wise to pick an article that you also plan to focus on in your literature review since you will be investing so much time into studying the article for your presentation.

Note* Student are notified on the FIRST DAY OF CLASS that they must present on their assigned presentation date.  Also, students will submit an abstract for their selected empirical article several weeks before the presentation to all for adequate to create and practice the powerpoint.

Neither "make-up" presentations nor swapping of dates between students will be allowed. 

If a student is not prepared to give their presentation on the assigned date, a zero will be recorded for that grade.

Bens advice!

Choose any slide design you guys would like and keep the following in mind:

1)      Don't go too heavy on the animations; Animations/slide transitions are good, but don't overdo them

2)      Don't put too much text on the slides; pictures are great

          a.       Be sure to cite pictures (if you get it from a website, just www.xxxxxxxx.com suffices as a citation)

3)      Think of questions or scenarios that you can use to involve the audience

          a.       "Who can tell me what they would do if...."

          b.      "Who has ever..."

          c.       Etc.
