  1. Title of Paper or Title of Discussion You are Leading Your name Your school/year Your email

  2. Take away • In these bullets • Add the most critical key points • That everyone should learn from this paper • Use a second slide if you need to, but think hard about the main point

  3. (Add descriptive title) • In a well-organized way, summarize the key points in the paper in 6-10 slides • Assume that people have read the paper

  4. (Add descriptive title) • Do not change this font or use a smaller font size • Do not change the slide style or background. Focus on content • Use EXACTLY 20 slides total (not including the video/demo slide)

  5. (Add descriptive title) • Do not put too much text on any given slide • You only have 20s per slide! • Putting too much text on slides is a very common mistake ... But you will figure that out when you practice

  6. (Add descriptive title) • Images are strongly preferred to text when they can be used to illustrate a concept • But, avoid gratuitous clip art

  7. (Add descriptive title) • Do not put text or images on the slide that people will not have time to read

  8. (Add descriptive title) • When you present, you will stand near the screen • These slides will advance automatically after 20s, no matter what

  9. (Add descriptive title) • If you do not practice • And practice • And practice • At least 3 times, you will get behind your slides and it will be painful to watch

  10. (Add descriptive title) • You should assume that everyone has read the paper but you are providing a summary of what you think are the most important or most thought-provoking or most controversial points

  11. (Add descriptive title) • After you have summarized the paper, in the remaining slides, up to slide 18, do two things • Evaluate/critique the ideas (More important than the summary) • Explain how you would extend the paper – what is the next research project that should be done that would build on it(Most important)

  12. (Add descriptive title) • Sometimes you might have to step people through an idea with well-labeled images • DO NOT just put a big complex image or table on the screen and expect people to understand it; if only a portion is important, highlight it so people know what to focus on

  13. (Add descriptive title) • You can use animation on a slide (keeping within the 20s) if you think that adds clarity • DO NOT add animation just to make the slides look “fancy.” Only use it to illustrate an idea

  14. (Add descriptive title) • Some concepts may be hard to describe and may require a series of several slides • Some ideas may take many slides to explain well • Step the listener through complex ideas • Doing this well takes preparation

  15. (Add descriptive title) • Teach the class why the paper is relevant/important • What is your critique of the way the idea was tested?

  16. (Add descriptive title) • Great things to do: • Relate the paper to ideas in other readings • Add important missing points that the paper does not discuss • If you disagree with points in the reading, make the case for your point of view

  17. (Add descriptive title) • More great things to do: • If possible/appropriate, illustrate key ideas using screenshots of a sample app • Propose a terrific idea for how you would build on top of the results of the this study

  18. (Add descriptive title) • You can’t do all of the above, so pick your battles... • But be sure to • Evaluate/critique the ideas • Explain how you would extend the paper – what is the next research project that should be done that would build on it

  19. 3-4 minute demo • Here show or conduct a 3-4 minute demo or video. This should be something that is not in the paper but relates to it and helps make the point. Finding something relevant for this may take some effort. • If you really get stuck, ask the instructor for tips on things you might do. • Do not go over 4 minutes!

  20. Take away • In these bullets • Reemphasize the most important take-away messages • That everyone should learn • From the paper/topic

  21. Discussion questions • Pose one provocative question to start off a discussion of the paper/topic • Pose another provocative question to start off a discussion of the paper/topic
