in the results. It was found that the data differed slightly.

paragraph choices

Smith (1990) was first to explain this result; Jones (1991)

Speaking in public: the human factor

3 aspects to be managed:

Control nervousness

Delivering the speech or presentation

Handling questions

The physical symptoms of nervousnessbutterflies in ones stomach,

pounding heart, squeaky voice a result of adrenaline released by the

body to escape an uncomfortable or threatening situation

Overcomed by:

changing ones state of mind.

preparing, organizing, and delivering the presentation in ways

that reduce anxiety.


23/40

Control nervousness

Keep your com posure

take an optimistic, enthusiastic view about the excitement of talkingabout something you enjoy to an audience that is on your side andwants you to succeed

your audience cant tell whether you are nervous inside, but onlywhether you show it outside.

Confidence will soon take over if you are well prepared.

Take con crete act ion to b e well prepared

Develop interesting, organized visual aids so that peoples eyes will beon them, not just on you

Put together a particularly interesting introduction and conclusionRehearse to the point of memorization (lower anxiety leave a goodimpression

Dont memorize anything word for word only the outlines keypoints

Expect the best but prepare for the wo rst Have a backup plan for any technology you plan to use.

Practice with the equipment as well as with the talk itself.

familiarize yourself with the room and the equipment

be prepared to give your presentation on your own, with no technologyor visual aids.


24/40

Delivering presentation

Look at the audience

Casually move around the room, if possible

Dont pace, but dont stand in the same location for theentire talk

Use your visual aids effectively Whenever possible, reveal information sequentially.

With PowerPoint, design slides so that bulleted pointsappear as you talk about them.

if your mind momentarily goes blank, dont panic

Silence is golden

Although the silent moment will seem long andawkward to you, the audience will find it to be natural


25/40

Handling questions

Sometimes, there truly may be no questionsThats all right not a sign you failedsomewhere.

Thank the audience and the moderator, andsit down.

What if someone asks a question that youcant answer?

Or one that seems to negate the wholestudy?

Or is openly hostile?


26/40

Suggested ways to handle questions


27/40

Handling questions .contd

Be sure you understand the question

Make sure the questioner is asking what you think he or she is Dont interrupt before the question is complete, even if you think you know what is

being asked

Answer briefly and directly Never dismiss a question without a response

Always remain professional

Maintain your dignity: Dont loosen a tie, lean on the podium, or relax your diction Never answer sarcastically or with anger

Remember the whole audience Maintain eye contact with all the audience most of the time

Make a conscious effort to take questions from various parts of the room

Never bluff, but you can steer When you dont know an answer, honestly say so

The question asked doesnt have to be the question answered

Stay within your allotted time limit If questions continue and the moderator doesnt end them, do so yourself: Make a

final summarizing statement if possible + thank the audience


28/40

A happy hybrid:

Poster presentation


29/40

Poster presentations were almost unknown before beingintroduced into scientific meetings in the United States inthe mid-1970s

How ?

a given poster will be displayed during a given timeframe;

the author will be on hand to discuss the subject with arelatively small number of interested viewers who stopwandering among the poster displays long enough tolisten and converse

Generally less stressful than a standard scientificpresentation

A successful postercombines visual, oral, and writtenelements


30/40

A scientific poster should follow the same organizationalconventions used for other scientific writing, with anIntroduction, Objectives, Materials and Methods, andResults and Discussion.

The most common problem with poster presentations isthe attempt to present too much text and too many data

In comparison to a written paper, add more photographs,graphics, and color.

Most commonly, viewers start by viewing data in tablesand figures, or by reading the conclusions or objectives

get sure the conclusion carry the points you emphasized
