Student+Oral+Presentations

=Important Information about the Structure of the Presentation=
 * Purpose**: to give your audience a brief overview of you Cancer Project. Clearly define the intent of your project at the beginning of the presentation: what question are your trying to answer or what problem are you trying to address? Give as much context as as is necessary to understand the intent of your project. Remember, not everyone understands your project as well as you; make sure you give the audience as much information as is necessary but no more (you simply don't have enough time). Discuss the major area of depth you went into and present a short analysis of the major finding of your research. This aspect should be as analytical as possible but without too much jargon or detail (again you simply do not have enough time). A final summary of the important conclusion or judgement reached by your research must be included.


 * What the Presentation is Not**: a detailed point-by-point description of everything on your wiki: no time for that.


 * Time**: 12 MINUTES MAXIMUM! A few additional minutes at the end to answer one or possibly two questions will be allowed but the 12-minute limit is inviolable. You will be cut off if you go longer.

1. A maximum of 6 slides (plus a title slide). This means about 2 minutes per slide. A good rule of thumb is one title slide, two introduction slides (breadth), three analysis slides (depth), and 1 conclusion slide (1+6 slides total). 2. No cute or precious templates, decorations, transitions or any other kind of distraction! Simple black text on a white background (or white text on black background) with an easy-to-read typeface (e.g. Arial or Times New Roman) is all you need. Graphics should be clean, simple and elegant. 3. Be sure to give credit to any information you use at the bottom of each slide (MLA reference style is good). 4. A copy of you PowerPoint slides must be posted to the appropriate folder in DropBox no later than 9 PM THE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR PRESENTATION. This is important because your fellow students and I ought to have a copy of your slides to study and review during your presentation and for the exam. The title of the file should include both your last names (e.g JonesSmith.pptx). Add the appropriate .ppt or .pptx extension; if using Keynote please convert the file to a PowerPoint file. =Practice and Advice Sessions=
 * PowerPoint Rules**:

There will be a series of times when you can practice your presentation with me in any way you want. This could be a formal run through or a more casual review of your slides. This is not mandatory but I strongly encourage you to attend at least one session, even if you are not about to present so that you gain from the experience and improve your chances of an excellent presentation.

The tentative dates and times are:

Wednesday May 28, 3:30-4:30 pm (Alumni Sciences 246) Friday May 30, 1-2 pm 1-2 pm (Sobrato 19) Monday June 2, 1-2 pm (Sobrato 19) and 3:30-4:30 pm (Alumni Sciences 246) Wednesday June 4, 1-2 pm (Sobrato 19) and 3:30-4:30 pm (Alumni Sciences 246)
