Research Presentation
Objectives
The purpose of this assignment is to
enable students to evaluate professional communication aspects in relation to
communication styles, skills and effectiveness, and to demonstrate the ability
to critically analyse and communicate the key issues of the research project
through a presentation.
Background
Being able to present your research
to an audience is a key skill for researchers to develop. There are a variety
of different settings where you may be asked to do this, from the school or
faculty research seminar to the international conference. Presentations
sometimes take the form of posters as well as talks.
It is important that every
presentation take account of whom the audience is. A seminar delivered to an
interdisciplinary audience which may have no specialist knowledge of your field
will be very different to a conference presentation in front of learned
specialists – even if you are presenting essentially the same research at both
venues.
Requirements
Each student is required to deliver
an oral presentation or seminar of his/her research project. This presentation
is expected to take approximately 10-12
minutes, with an additional 2-3
minutes for questions and
comments from the audience. You are required to use presentation software (PowerPoint or so) for the purpose of
this presentation.
This assessment gives the student an
opportunity to demonstrate the key aspects of their research work to an
audience and also to receive feedback on their research and the study conducted
towards achieving the outcomes. The student will present a detailed overview of
the study. The student should be prepared to answer questions about any aspect
of the study. The following is a sample structure of a research presentation.
