Things That Don't Matter in Your Presentation!Ayman Sadiq
We often spend hours together on stuffs that don’t really matter in your next presentation. You need to unclutter, focus, provide insight and yes, tell a story to convey the big idea. When you stop wasting time on the things that don’t really add any value to you presentation, we finally start adding proper value to the message and objective of your presentation. So here goes a list of things on which you should not even spend a minute. Cheers!
This document provides an overview of the APA and MLA citation styles. It defines APA as the style of the American Psychological Association and MLA as the style of the Modern Language Association. Both are used to cite sources in research papers and require in-text citations and bibliographies that are formatted differently. The key differences between APA and MLA are that APA is more commonly used in scientific and social science fields, while MLA is used more in language and literature fields. Both require double spaced papers with 1 inch margins but have different rules for page headers and bibliographies.
Place in Space (AKA "How to Design A Concept Model")Stephen Anderson
The document summarizes Stephen Anderson's presentation at IA Summit 2016 on creating concept models. It discusses playing a numbers game to add up to 15 as an example of a simple concept model. It then presents magic squares as a more complex concept model and compares it to tic-tac-toe. The document lists various models used to reveal patterns and concepts. It notes that while visual models are useful, the ones provided may not always fit the problem well and few know how to create new visual models. However, it suggests that all visual models are built upon common visual elements that can be used to make sense of complex ideas.
The document provides information about referencing and citation styles. It discusses what referencing is, the difference between a reference list and bibliography, examples of in-text citations, criteria for choosing sources to reference, examples of plagiarism, and descriptions of the IEEE, Harvard, and Vancouver citation styles including how to format in-text citations and bibliographic references.
UX, ethnography and possibilities: for Libraries, Museums and ArchivesNed Potter
1) The document discusses how the University of York Library has used various user experience (UX) techniques like ethnographic observation and interviews to better understand user needs and behaviors.
2) Some changes implemented based on UX findings include installing hot water taps, changing hours, and adding blankets - aimed at improving the small details of user experience.
3) The presentation encourages other libraries, archives and museums to try incorporating UX techniques like behavioral mapping and cognitive interviews to inform design changes that enhance services for users.
How to Prepare For a Successful Job Search for 2024Albert Qian
The document provides guidance on preparing a job search for 2024. It discusses the state of the job market, focusing on growth in AI and healthcare but also continued layoffs. It recommends figuring out what you want to do by researching interests and skills, then conducting informational interviews. The job search should involve building a personal brand on LinkedIn, actively applying to jobs, tailoring resumes and interviews, maintaining job hunting as a habit, and continuing self-improvement. Once hired, the document advises setting new goals and keeping skills and networking active in case of future opportunities.
This presentation provided a simple overview of AI tools that are effective for research papers in enhancing the research journey and making it easier.
Google scholar search provides more relevant academic search results as compared to normal google search. Unlike normal Google search, the Google scholar search avoids the general articles or articles from unreliable sources in the search result.

A book review analyzes and evaluates a book, including the author's argument and whether they are successful in conveying their main ideas. It goes beyond just summarizing the plot by including the reviewer's own opinion. A good book review answers questions about the book's central themes, characters, narrative, and strengths and weaknesses, and evaluates whether the author convinces the reader and knows enough about the topic. It should be written with authority and confidence, include examples and quotes from the text, and recommend whether others would find the book worthwhile.
The document discusses the growth and impact of social media. Some key points made include:
- Social media usage, especially on platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Flickr has grown tremendously in recent years in terms of time spent, content shared, and number of users.
- Many large brands and organizations, including governments and the military, are actively using social media for marketing, outreach, and sharing information.
- Younger generations are leading the transition to digital and social media usage that will continue to shape future media habits.
This document provides guidance on writing a research paper. It begins by outlining ethics for using sources and then defines what constitutes a research paper. A research paper involves research, critical thinking, source evaluation, organization, and composition around a topic. It uses primary and secondary sources to explore a topic and provide a unique perspective, rather than just summarizing sources. There are two main types of research papers: argumentative and analytical. The document provides examples of thesis statements for each type and discusses choosing topics and developing a thesis statement. It emphasizes that a thesis often evolves during the writing process.
The document discusses plagiarism and provides guidance on how to avoid it. It defines plagiarism as presenting another person's ideas or words as your own without giving them proper credit. It gives examples of plagiarism and recommends strategies like taking detailed notes, paraphrasing material in your own words, and citing all sources. The document also introduces some detection software and online plagiarism checking services that can be used to identify plagiarized content.
Before starting to write the research must develop a complete plan and draw the structure of the research and determine its areas and prospects that will be the field of research and study and should not be said planning an engineering research to coordinate its discussion and harmony between its parts and show what is achieved highlight and focus on scientific research.
Research without a carefully thought-out plan is a waste of time and waste of effort because it is neglected and start writing research without it, which is forced to rewrite after draining a lot of time and effort.
(1) The study aimed to compare the reading comprehension of EFL learners between hypertext and printed text.
(2) Forty-six Taiwanese students were divided into two groups - one read printed text and the other read hypertext. Comprehension tests found students performing better with printed text, except for guessing word meanings.
(3) The critique noted threats to validity from lack of random assignment and controls for confounding variables. More reliability and validity data for tests and stronger research design were recommended to evaluate the study's implications.
