  1. How to Give a Presentation Not Alex Montgomery POL 373: Global Ecological Politics 2007-04-17

  2. Outline • Organizing • The Outline • Information Flow • Style Tips • Presenting: Yourself • PowerPoint: Your Worst Enemy • Things to Do • Things to Avoid • Summary

  3. I.a) Organizing: The Outline …should look something like this: • Your Puzzle (+Your Answer) • Current Perspectives (No Straw Men) • Theoretical Basis (assumptions, actors, processes, structures, etc.) • Empirics • Conclusions/Further Research/Implications

  4. I.b) Organizing: Information Flow • Assess audience knowledge • Introduce key concepts, terms early on • Have additional slides ready (and slides that can be cut) • Divide information between slides & notes • Signpost throughout the talk

  5. I.c) Organizing: Style Tips • Outlines don’t have to be boring • Talks are not books: Repeat yourself • Fit your organization to your subject • Handouts?

  6. II. Presenting: Yourself (1/2) • First impressions are important • Speak clearly (“loosen tie; speak up”) • Face Audience (+ make eye contact) • Practice, practice, practice • Don’t read your talk • Sound interested • Slow down

  7. II. Presenting: Yourself (2/2) • Standing or Sitting? • Laser Pointers and Other Bad Things • Covering up Your Slides • Have Something to Drink • Supporters in the Audience? • When to Take Questions

  8. III.a) PowerPoint: Things to Do (1/2) • Have a backup • Do a test-run before the presentation • Boot computer before presentation • Bring your own cables

  9. III.a) PowerPoint: Things to Do (2/2) • Full Sentences v. Fragments • One to Three points Per Slide • One to Three minutes Per Slide • Don’t Read off your Slides • Consistent Slide Design

  10. III.b) PowerPoint: Things to Avoid • Miniscule Text • Annoying Animations • Ugly Themes • Irritating Backgrounds • Complicated Slides • Unclear Plots

  11. Centrifuge Uranium Enrichment – the ‘Poor Man’ Approach to Obtaining Clandestine Fissile Uranium Supplies • Centrifuge Uranium Enrichment – Uniquely Suitable to Obtaining Clandestine Supplies of Fissile Uranium by Industrializing Third World Nations, Since: - Centrifuges Demonstrate High Separation Factor per Machine. Thus Require Relatively Small Number of Centrifuges, & Stages in the Enrichment Cascade for a Given Plant Throughput - Centrifuges Require Low Energy Consumption per Machine. Thus No Need to Dedicate a Large Electric Generating Plant to Supply Power to a Uranium Enrichment Plant - Centrifuges Represent Medium Sophistication Technology, That Can be Implemented by Industrializing Third World Country • Laser Uranium Enrichment Technology Achieves Higher Separation Factors per Machine, Relatively Low Electricity Consumption, However, It Represents High-Tech Venture, Beyond the Technical Capabilities of Most Industrializing Countries • Magnetic Separation Technology Demonstrates Low Separation Factor per Machine, and High Energy Consumption Requirements, Thus Requiring Large Number of Separation Stages Operating Over a Longer Period, for a Given Production Level, and Increasing the Likelihood of Discovery. On The Other Hand, Magnetic Separation Represents a Low-Tech Option That Can be Mastered by Industrializing Third World Nations

  12. III.b)PowerPoint: Things to Avoid • Miniscule Text • Annoying Animations • Ugly Themes • Irritating Backgrounds • Complicated Slides • Unclear Plots

  13. III.b) PowerPoint: Things to Avoid • Miniscule Text • Annoying Animations • Ugly Themes • Irritating Backgrounds • Complicated Slides • Unclear Plots

  14. III.b) PowerPoint: Things to Avoid • Miniscule Text • Annoying Animations • Ugly Themes • Irritating Backgrounds • Complicated Slides • Unclear Plots
