  • Design effective 5-slide decks
  • Use professional signposting language
  • Deliver under pressure with feedback
⚡ Final preparation before Session 13 assessments
10 minutes

Warm-Up: 60-Second Pitches

3 Volunteers — 60 seconds each

Explain your research topic WITHOUT slides:

  • What is the problem?
  • Why does it matter?
  • What is your approach?

Class Feedback — Chat:

• Clearest point?
• One question?

Constraint: No notes. Speak from knowledge.

Slide Design: The 5-Rule

The 5-Rule:

  • 5 slides for 5-minute talk
  • 5 bullets maximum per slide
  • 5 words maximum per bullet
  • 5 seconds to read each slide
  • 5 colors maximum

Data Slides:

  • One graph per slide
  • Title states conclusion
  • Axes labeled with units
  • Source cited below
Examples: Good vs. Bad slides discussion

Signposting Language

INTRODUCTION: "Today I will present..." / "My talk focuses on three aspects..."
TRANSITIONS: "Turning to the methodology..." / "This leads us to the results..."
EMPHASIS: "Crucially, this finding..." / "What matters here is..."
CONCLUSION: "In summary..." / "These results suggest..." / "Future work will address..."
These phrases are your GPS for the audience
10 minutes

Signposting Drill

Transform Informal → Formal (Chat Response)

1. "So, um, we did this experiment..."

→ "The experimental procedure involved..."

2. "And then we saw something cool..."

→ "The data revealed a significant pattern..."

3. "This is, like, really important..."

→ "These findings have substantial implications for..."

4. "Next slide shows the graph..."

→ "As illustrated in Figure 2..."

30 minutes

Mini-Presentations

4 Volunteers — 3 minutes each, 3 slides max

Required Structure:

  • Slide 1: Title + Context (30s)
  • Slide 2: Method or Data (60s)
  • Slide 3: Implication (60s)
  • Q&A: 30 seconds

Feedback Protocol:

• Speaker: What felt strongest?
• Peer 1: One clarity question
• Peer 2: One language suggestion
• Dr. Ouaar: One structural observation

Feedback Synthesis

✓ Strengths Observed

  • Clear IMRaD structure in oral form
  • Effective use of numbers
  • Confident Q&A handling

⚠ Areas to Polish

  • Slide text overload → Reduce keywords
  • Reading from slides → Use notes only
  • Weak conclusion → End with implication
  • Time overrun → Rehearse with timer
Final tune-up: Practice twice before Session 13
