How to Give a Seminar

Introduction
Introduce yourself Say what you are here to talk about, ie give a brief summary without giving the whole talk. Provide the reason for giving this talk, why is it important, how does it affect you. Tell them what you hope they get out of this talk.

Introduction
Introduction Topic of Talk Relevance Concluding Comments

Summary
Flow from your intro Keep it brief. Good rule of thumb is the 2 -2-2
Two sentences of background Two sentences summarizing results Two sentences summarizing conclusions

Relevance
Sell your talk Why do you care? Why should we care? Put your talk in the context of the Big picture

Background
You are the expertwe know nothing Give the basic background Limit the detail Keep it to what we need to understand the talk Simplification sometimes works Set yourself up for the main topic

The Talk
Tell us the specific problem being addressed. Reiterate where it fits into the big picture Summarize the authors introduction nothing is worse than a blow by blow

The Data
Use figures make sure they are large enough and visible enough to see. Include the figure legend when possible. Use the figures to guide you through your talk. If you know what the figures are saying so you do not need to memorize.

The Data II
Summarize the data in the figure. What may be obvious to you may not be to your reader. Keep tying the data back to the original problem. This will keep your audience with you. Careful with this step. Dont dumb down.

Results and Discussion


In a good talk this section is merged with the data section. The Discussion should be more of what you or the author was trying to convey. Was the author successful.Your $0.02 worth.

Conclusion
Wrap it all up. Tell your audience again the mission
What is the take home message. Thank your audience and contributors

Notes
Keep your visuals simple Limit text on the screen Keep the number of visuals to a minimum Know the topic of your talk not the talk. Engage your audience
Eye contact Questions etc.
