Instructions • One person in each pair gives a one-minute talk while the other listens. • The listener takes 2 minutes and writes a brief description of what they think their partner’s project is about. • Switch roles and repeat. • Exchange papers – how did you do?
The Result • Collect feedback from the group: • Did you have a good idea of what the project was all about? • Did you have a good idea of what this person did? • What did you want to know that wasn’t covered? • What would you think if… • …this were a career fair? • …this were a poster session? • …you were a faculty member and this student came to ask you to support their project?
Things to Consider • Without preparation, this is difficult! • How many of you… • Have had to do this before? • Had a 1-minute summary of your project prepared prior to today? • Think about why you might need a 1-minute summary, have something in mind for those topics.
Specific to you/DPM/MSD • Proposed project name, why it’s important, major technical challenges, what you hope to achieve, and how the faculty member could help. • What your MSD project goal was, why you did it, what your role was, and the outcome (for poster session)
Suggested formats…other situations • What you did, why you did it, and why it matters • What you did, why you did it, and what you learned • What’s the problem, why it exists, what if it isn’t solved, recommended solutions, and expected benefits
Planning Exercise • Select target audience • Potential faculty champion/consultant • Poster session attendee (Imagine) • Career fair/job interviewer • Plan speech • Brain-Dump • Streamline • Connect • Practice
