Presentation Guidelines
Your task is to deliver a well-crafted presentation on the assigned research article, adhering strictly to the 15-20 minute duration. Any deviation from this timeframe is not acceptable.
Structuring Your Presentation
Begin with a concise introduction to set the context for your audience, transition smoothly into the core content, and conclude decisively. Your presentation’s success hinges on your ability to captivate your audience with a clear conveyance of the scientific material, avoiding overly intricate visuals that may detract from your primary message.
Recommended Recording Tool
While numerous software options are available for recording your presentation, I suggest using ScreenPal. Should you need to, it is permissible to divide your presentation into two separate files to benefit from the free version of this software.
Visual Aids
Choose visuals that reinforce your spoken content. Slides should illuminate concepts, underscore key points, depict relationships, and aid the audience’s comprehension.
Visual Design Tips:
– Employ clean, simple design principles.
– Opt for straightforward graphs and diagrams.
– Minimize color, pattern, and graphic use in a single view.
– Text should be concise, especially for titles.
– Use mixed-case fonts for better readability.
– Emphasize headings with size variation, not exceeding three sizes per slide.
– Prefer sans-serif fonts (e.g., Arial) for projection clarity.
– Standardize font sizes and maintain horizontal text orientation.
– Contrast color schemes to ensure legibility.
– Standardize color schemes across your presentation.
– Make slide references during your talk to guide your audience.
– Avoid slide text duplication; your slides should complement your speech, not replicate it.

4. Problem/Hypothesis
– The issue addressed by the research
– The authors’ hypothesis
5. Methodology
– Description of participants or materials used
– Delineation of control and experimental groups
– Steps of the experimental procedure
6. Data Representation

7. Discussion

Recording Guidelines
Ensure that your presentation recording includes either your slides alone or both your slides and your face simultaneously. Submissions that display only the presenter’s face without the accompanying slides will not meet the requirements and, therefore, cannot be accepted.
Uploading Your Presentation
Upload your video directly to Canvas or provide the ScreenPal link within the platform.
Background and Graphics
Select subdued backgrounds with cool colors to enhance text readability. Avoid distracting patterns. Incorporate relevant graphics, charts, and images to elucidate complex concepts, and consider the occasional use of a cartoon for emphasis.
Presentation Rehearsal
Practice your presentation thoroughly to ensure fluency and refine each slide’s focus. Aim for a maximum of one slide per minute. Rigorously edit your slides to eliminate redundancy, and rehearse to smooth out any parts where you struggle with explanations.
