HOW TO GIVE A GOOD
PRESENTATION
WHY BOTHER GIVING A GOOD TALK?
First impressions matter!
There’s no point doing good work if others don’t
know about it or can’t understand what you did.
Good practice for a teaching career! Good practice
for any career!
Helps you sort out what you’ve done, and
understand it better yourself.
TYPES OF PRESENTATIONS
Quick 1-minute “what I do” talk
25 minute conference paper presentation
Project presentation
Thesis defense
Job talk
What they have in common:
Never enough time to talk about everything
All of them reflect on you & need practice/polish
Focus on a clear goal and message.
TOP 10 POINTERS FOR A GOOD TALK
1. Be neat
2. Avoid trying to cram too much into one slide
Don’t be a slave to your slides.
3. Be brief
use keywords rather than long sentences
4. Avoid covering up slides
5. Use a large font
TOP 10 POINTERS FOR A GOOD TALK
6. Use color to emphasize
7. Use illustrations to get across
key concepts
May include limited animation
8. Make eye contact
9. Be ready to skip slides if time is short
10. Practice !!
A “TYPICAL” PROJECT TALK OUTLINE
Title/author/affiliation (1 slide)
Forecast (1 slide)
Give gist of problem attacked and
insight found
Outline (1 slide)
Background
Motivation and Problem
Statement (1-2 slides)
Related Work (0-1 slides)
Methods (1-3 slides)
Explain your approach; illustrate
algorithm
Who am I?
What is the problem?
Why is it important?
What have others done?
What is my approach?
A “TYPICAL” PROJECT TALK OUTLINE
Results (2-6 slides)
Present key results and key insights. This is
main body of the talk, but don’t try to show ALL
results.
Summary (1 slide)
Future Work (0-1 slides)
Backup Slides (0-3 slides)
Optionally have a few slides ready to answer
expected questions.
3 Things to Remember!
OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER
Oral communication is different from written
communication
Keep it simple and focus on a few key points
Repeat key insights
Be sensitive to your audience
The same talk may need to be adjusted for a different
audience
Make the audience want to learn more
Handling Q&A is as important as the formal talk
itself
HOW TO IMPROVE?
Practice by yourself
Practice in front of friends
Practice in front of a webcam
Watch footage later… alone… as painful as that may
be!
Take note of effective speakers and adopt their
successful habits
THE BIGGER PICTURE:
COMMUNICATION AND YOUR CAREER
Expressing yourself technically
helps you make and use
professional connections wisely
You are joining a long-term
community…
Communicate your ideas to forge
mentoring and technical
relationships in the service of
professional goals
