Workshop on presentation skills for PhD students (Joe Roussos, SU)

Dates: 6 March, 13 March, 27 March, 3 April

Time: 15:00-16:30

Place: D892 (Frescati, D House, floor 8)

Theory topics include:

• How to structure an academic talk
• Goals for different kinds of talks (e.g., advertise yourself, highlight a conclusion, elicit feedback)
• Targeting a talk to a specific audience
• Working with slides (e.g., what goes on the slide vs. what you say)

Practical exercises include:

• Thinking on your feet
• Answering questions clearly and calmly
• Achieving a more conversational tone while staying academically precise

In addition, everyone will give a short talk during the workshop and receive structured feedback. Since this is a lot to cover and practicing takes time, the plan is to have four sessions.
