  1. Tips for presenting and writing

  2. Grading of the talks • Content • technical soundness • appropriate level of detail • nontrivial scientific content • connection to level of the audience • Presentation skills • organisation • timing: 20 minutes • use of beamer (and blackboard/tablet) • eye contact • answering questions • speed & articulation

  3. Tips: • Do not stand in front of the screen • Use a pointer • Speak up • Use pictures when appropriate • Use blackboard/tablet for additional explanations • Use colors / focus for zooming in on important aspects in a slide • Slide numbers • Do not overload your slides • Look as if you are sure of yourself • Look at the audience (eye contact) • Presenting formulas costs a lot of time! Use them with care. • Bring a bottle of water

  4. Grading of the essays • Content • technical soundness • appropriate level of detail • nontrivial scientific content • depth of research • no original results required from you! • plagiarism not allowed. (We use checking tools) • "Presentation" • organisation (sections etc.) • scientific writing • readability • use of tables & pictures • references: as complete as possible • use e.g. bibtex • mention "last visited" date for URLs • critical attitude • Do not just believe everything! Authors may be exaggerating

  5. Tips for writing essays: • Title, abstract, name, bibliography, page numbers • You do not have to explain everything. Sometimes a literature ref. is good enough. When? • subject out of scope • full explanation would be too long • Be critical / mature • if you disagree with a paper, do not be afraid to tell us(but always motivate opinions) • it is not a crime to admit that you do not understand part of a paper(unless it is easy stuff) • Not too short, not too long • around 12-15 pages(LNCS format, see course webpage for template files)
