Oral presentations are a significant component of
any professional activity, whether you work in research, government, private
industry or academia.

presentations is an acquired skill and is not based on your ability to use
PowerPoint. Come along to this session to learn how other students and academic
staff design and deliver presentations.
The topics to be covered will include:
1. Overview and Goals of Session
2. Perspectives from selected students and academic
staff
3. What are good, bad and effective
presentations
a) Oral Delivery
b) Structure
c) Content
d) Use of Graphics
e) Response to questions
5. How do you deliver an effective presentation?
6. How to you improve your presentation
skills?
