Presentation Notes

Zoom presentation is different, less element of socialization
Stop screenshare when you do Q/A, move to gallery mode to see how people are responding
Enhance the dynamism of your presentation by moving the camera away from just a close-up on your face
General outline for presentation of basic findings:
- Introduction
- Preview
- Review of Literature
- Justification of research question
- Method/s
- Findings
- Analysis
- Review
- Conclusion
You should have all of these if you're making a research-informed deliverable.

Knowing your audience is important.
- When they're required to be here, intrinsic motivation will be low
- What do they already know?

Delivery is part of the meaning. Audiences will believe your nonverbals if they conflict with your verbals.

Consider varying the time you spend on each part of the outline in order to indicate which is most significant.

All that the preview does is indicate what you will cover. Breaking the ice, hook, etc. will be included in introduction.

First responsibility of the introduction is to grab the audience's attention.

Showing why your research matters, how it might help, is one of the best ways to grab attention.
- Sense of surprise or mystery
- Combine that with "salience" -- connecting with something the audience cares about personally

Clearly state the hypothesis, put the hypothesis on a slide (or research question)

Ask your advisor what the usual customs in a field are

Justification of research
Justification of...
- Presentation, why are we here
- Thesis
- Question
- Hypothesis
Ultimately answering the question of "Why is this research worth doing?"
- It will help society
- Presents an innovation in the field
- The research is confirming or not confirming prior conclusions in the field

Review of literature
- How did this issue arise, why is it important, what work has been done

Methods
- The most important part for professionals
- How was your research conducted?
- Justifying your method -- If the method was good, the results will be good
- This is necessary because you could potentially use any method to get any results you want
- There has to be some sort of structure to how you analyzed literature

Presentation of findings
- Compare research to what has come before you
- Look for patterns and anomalies
- Prepare to explain anomalies
- Results are not self-explanatory
- Explain the weaknesses and strengths of your method
- Future implications -- where will the research go from here?

Show dramaturgical casebook via high-quality photographs
Produce a video clip of theatrical performance if applicable

Pacing yourself
- Timeframe: 10-15 mins for SSHA?
- What really matters in your presentation?
- Not everything is important!
- Start slow and gradually build up your speed

Approach from the POV of wanting to teach people
1 minute per slide?
Have citations
Whatever your mentor says is the way to do it
