    So…

    A. Bonarini – Thesis presentation


    Slide content ‹#›

    Title :
    it should be evident and it should introduce the slide content

    Textual content:
    • Presented by bulleted, shematic sentences
    • Only keywords, do not put in each sentence all the prepositions,
    and the articles, and the conjunctions, and…
    • Short sentences
    • Possibly organized on no more than two hierarchical levels
    • No more than 4-5 sentences per slide

    A. Bonarini – Thesis presentation


    Plots, pictures, movies, graphics ‹#›

    • To be preferred vs. text


    (“a picture is worth 1000 words”)

    • No more than one or two per slide

    • Possibly include few text lines

    • Consider the possibility to place


    the text on the side of the figure
    instead than on top or bottom of a
    central picture

    A. Bonarini – Thesis presentation


    Graphical notes ‹#›

    • Define text font, size, and color


    before starting the presentation This font is not this font
    (Master view in PowerPoint) and
    keep them coherent in the
    presentation

    • Font size should not be less than This font is too small
    16 points, better 20.

    • Colors should be easily readable This font is can’t be read


    with any possible light condition

    • All this is valid also for plots y = best


    = worst

    (colors and line thickness) and


    legendas

    A. Bonarini – Thesis presentation


    How to present ‹#›

    • Introduce yourself at the beginning


    • Introduce the title of the presentation
    • Do not read notes: you know what you have to say
    • Do not learn the presentation by heart (see above)
    • Keep the presentation time within 20’ for the thesis and 10’ for
    project (“tesina”)
    • Do not speak too quickly
    • Put emphasis on what you are saying: do not be monotonous
    and boring
    • Talk facing the committee not the slides or nothing
    • Look at possible signs of your tutor
    • Be sure that the committee can see the slides
    • Try to stay at the right of the screen
    (if you are right-handed) so that you
    can refer to the slide without giving
    the back to the committee

    A. Bonarini – Thesis presentation


    Conclusions ‹#›

    • Prepare compact and effective slides


    • Check to be on time and to be able to say all and only the
    needed things
    • Keep attention to the committee reactions, and react in turn

    Any questions?
