Your presentation should: • Introduce your project topic and supervisor • Say why this project topic is important • Outline key research questions in this area you are looking to address in your project • Outline how you are going about your research project • Outline your project progress to date and planned further work to be done Guidelines • Plan your presentation and talk carefully • Put a descriptive figure for your presentation on your slide • You just need one static slide – don’t try and squeeze too much detail in • Keep the PowerPoint slide simple and concise • Speak slowly (not too slowly) and clearly • Get someone to look at / listen to a draft before submitting for feedback • Try not to be too nervous when presenting to a group; practice presenting to a small group of friends may help • Have a look at sample presentations online: http://threeminutethesis.org/3mt- showcase Read the following page for details of the marking rubric. http://threeminutethesis.org/3mt-showcase http://threeminutethesis.org/3mt-showcase Marking Rubric – SIT792 Three Minute Presentation Number Fail Weak Satisfactory Excellent 1.
