Suggestions: For a successful presentation to avoid Giving a Truly Terrible Talk.

• One week before the presentation: Provide your classmates a copy of your  paper if your paper  is not available on link site.

• The day of the presentation:  Provide your classmates a copy of your slides during the day of your presentation.

• Prior to your class presentation: Give your friends a practice talk to have a feedback and prepare yourself for potential class questions. 

• Following week of paper presentation:  Take your time to read presented papers and prepare a couple of questions and send them to presenter.  Then, prepare a short summary of nearly 100 words to send instructor.

• Self-Evaluation for presentation: See the Paper Presentation Grade Sheet.  Fill the forms on each of presented talks and send them confidentially to instructor following the presentation.
