Presentation Guideline
PRESENTATION RULES
The presentation follows 3MT format:
A single static PowerPoint slide is permitted (no slide transitions, animations or 'movement' of any description, the slide is to be presented from the beginning of the oration).
No additional electronic media (e.g. sound and video files) are permitted.
No additional props (e.g. costumes, musical instruments, laboratory equipment) are permitted.
Presentations are limited to 3 MINUTES MAXIMUM.
Presentations are to be spoken word (eg. no poems, raps or songs).
Presentations are considered to have commenced when a presenter starts their presentation through movement or speech.
WRITING YOUR PRESENTATION
Please include details below in writing your presentation and while practicing your verbal presentation.
A. Short overview of your research:
Include sufficient detail (level of study, year of enrolment, research title, objectives, and methodology/how research is to be carried out) for audiences to get acquainted with the research without having to refer to your proposal.
B. Activities undertaken since beginning.
State the progress of your study (Proposal Defense/Pre Viva/Pending Viva)
Describe chapters/stages that you have completed as outlined in your proposal.
C. (OPTIONAL) Issues or problems that have impacted on the development of your research.
D. Direction that the research will take in the coming semester.
Briefly explain activities planned and other information of relevance for the next stage of the research.
CREATING YOUR SLIDE
You may like to consider some of the following suggestions to make your slide clear and concise:
A. LESS IS MORE:
Avoid overcrowded slide. Text and complicated graphics can distract your audience – you don’t want them to read your slide rather than listen to you.
B. PERSONAL TOUCHES CAN BE EFFECTIVE:
Personal touches can allow your audience to understand the impact of your research.
C. CREATIVITY DRIVES INTEREST:
You do not have to have a slide, so do not rely on your slide to convey your message – it should simply complement your spoken oration.
D. WORK YOUR MESSAGE:
Think about how your slide might be able to assist with the format and delivery of your presentation – is there a metaphor that helps explain your research.
