3. How to do well?

The grading is based on Content (8 marks), Delivery (8 marks) and Interaction (8 marks). The tips for doing well in these three categories are given below.

3.1 Content

The 7 marks here will be based on the informativeness, orderliness and organization of the slides.

  1. Do not go over everything that were discussed during the classes related to your topic, but select the information that are most interesting for you within your topic and the ones that you can summarize most effectively.
  2. Do not skip the most important points discussed during the classes about your topic.
  3. The title slide should clearly state your name and the title of your part of the presentation.
  4. Do not use long sentences in paragraphs, but only bullet or numbered lists.
  5. Be innovative and original in making the slides, but you have to show that you have learned things from the sessions of this course and not from some random websites and ChatGPT.
  6. There should not too much or too little information on a single slide.
  7. Explanatory images and diagrams should be used, especially following the infographics given in the course webpages. You can directly copy the images from the webpages and paste into your slides.

3.2 Delivery

The 7 marks here will be based on the preparedness, readiness, and conveying of the materials of the slides.

  1. The verbal presentation must be in English.
  2. Make sure that you practice delivering the information in your slides beforehand so that it does not seem that you are not prepared to speak.
  3. While showing a slide, talk about what is on that slide and not about something else.
  4. Follow the bullet points or numbered lists shown in your slides.
  5. Go over the images on your slides carefully.
  6. Do not skip over the slides, keep the slides that you will actually present.
  7. Finish within time.

3.3 Interaction

The 7 marks here will be based on your interaction with the screen and the audience and your body language.

  1. Pay attention to your slides and to the audience.
  2. Do not read from your phone or from a paper, speak spontaneously.
  3. Do not stand in one place but move in order to point toward different parts of the screen.
  4. If you insist on standing, at least look at the slides and the audience periodically.
  5. Move your hands while talking naturally.
