About Presentations
Why: what is the purpose of that sort of Assessment ?
-
IVR Subject is relatively fresh and still moving a lot
-
Research area : you should know how to read and critic that sort of paper
-
Learn how to explore a subject by yourself
-
Extract the key points of a paper
-
The meaning of "to critic" : to extract the good ideas from
the bad ones, propose some new ones inspired from the proposed one. Improve.

Slide 4 : 4 / 9 : About Presentations : Before
About Presentations
Before : a support, a training, a timing.
-
Be Ready, at least, the day before
-
Provide me with a copy of your presentation at least one day prior to
your presentation.
-
Check the availability and the organisation of the room, the available
devices, the size of your slides on the screen, relative to the audience
position, the day before or at least one hour before
-
Rehearse, more than one hour before, check your timing and the adequation
of the number of slides
-
around 30 slides per hour / no more than 10 lines (20) per slides / lots
of graphs
-
Keep the last hour to have a walk and relax by doing something else or
by relaxing
-
Breath slowly thinking only about the way you are breathing
Slide 5 : 5 / 9 : About Presentations : During
About Presentations
During
-
Pay attention at the time
-
Have a support, AND some notes that complement the support
-
You may read, but don't look like you are only reading. Be careful to
some suspicious change of talking speed between when you are reading, and
when you are not
-
Look at your audience time to time (indeed as much as possible, and not
always the same person, especially not only at me)
-
If you look at the screen, it is only to show something on it, because
then you lose the eye contact, and the sound of your voice fade away
-
The Voice should be strong enough !!! should come from your belly, not
from your Throat
Slide 6 : 6 / 9 : About Presentations : Content
About Presentations
Content
This is about dealing with a research paper : be a good reviewer : be critical
You have to explain :
-
The context of your paper:
what was done before the paper, why something had to be done (what for),
the critics against the other solutions, what the author has done before
on that subject ...
-
Here, it could be interesting to provide references to other documents
(other articles, books, web sites) that help you to understand the paper
you have read
-
The content of the paper:
what you have done, what are the interesting new elements, new developments,
new ideas that make your work so "special"
-
The follow up:
what new directions could be followed, what things could be done, using
what you have just presented.
Slide 7 : 7 / 9 : About Presentations : NOT to do
About Presentations
What NOT to do ?
-
Repeat or copy part of the text :
your public is not there to get some extract of the paper: they could do
it themselves. What they want is a second way to look at the ideas presented
into the paper.
-
Only and strictly read a text (except if you are really good at loud reading)
-
Follow entirely the structure of the paper :
-
you won't have enough time
-
you'll won't be able to point out the interesting bits of the paper
-
you'll make your public fall asleep, because sometime, things that
have to be written to make a good paper, are not interesting to be said.
Slide 8 : 8 / 9 : NVE : Research paper presentation
NVE : Research paper presentation : Assignment 2
Students will make an in-class presentation based on readings and independent
research on a research paper.
The presentation will consist of two parts, a lecture
and an HTML website, which will count equally in the grading.
To illustrate the paper, you will have to point to one or two other research
papers : they could either explain the context of the studied paper or illustrate
some other position to the same issue.
During the presentation and in the lecture note, you have to explain the context
of the paper, extract the main idea and then explain the difficult part of it.
After your presentation, anybody should be able to read the paper straitforward
and to fully understand it
Lecture:
-
20-25 mn + 5 mn (questions time)
-
presentation support (Transparent, Powerpoint or HTML recommended)
-
show video, bring props, sing...
-
presentation : between the 12/9 and the 17/10
-
presentation will be recorded (to help the marking)
You should create lecture notes (Powerpoint or HTML recommended)
for this purpose. You are welcome to show video, bring props, sing, or
whatever seems most appropriate for the material. An important part of
your presentation is interaction with the students, so try to engage them and
leave time for questions. Your grade will be based upon demonstrated
knowledge of the subject, as well as interactivity and efficacy of presentation.
-
Pictures and diagrams
-
Be targeted at Masters or graduate students in computer science, and should
demonstrate your new-found expert knowledge of the subject
-
-
Sources and references
-
Presentation support should be provided at the latest on Wednesday before
1700 of the week of your presentation
Next weeks will see your presentation of a research paper. The main rules remain
the same than the previous presentation
Timing, 20 mn + 5 mn (questions time).
Think about looking at your public, speaking loud.
What differs a little is the type of subject.
Here, you may imagine that you are one of the author of the paper, and you have
to present it in a research conference. You have to explain :
- The context of your paper (what was done before you came, why something had
to be done (what for), the critics against the other solutions, what you have
done yourself before...)
Here, it could be interesting to provide references to other documents (other
articles, books, web sites) that help you to understand the paper you have read.
- The content of you paper (what you have done, what are the interesting new
elements, new developments, new ideas that make your work so "special")
- The after : what new directions could be followed, what things could be done,
using what you have just presented.
NB. They are sometime research paper that are more about "state of the
art" around a given subject. This sort of paper should be presented more
like the previous presentation.
