    An oral research presentation should communicate the importance of the research, clearly state the findings and analysis, and prompt questions from the audience. The document provides guidance on creating effective presentations, including using simple backgrounds, readable fonts, and one slide per main point. It suggests including sections on introduction, background, research question, methods, findings, discussion, future work, and references. The goal is to concisely yet clearly convey the key points of the research.

    UCSB McNair Scholars 2011 Summer Program

    An Oral Research Presentation is meant to showcase your research


    findings.
    In the academic community a well done oral research presentation
    should:
    - communicate the importance of your research
    - clearly state your finding and the analysis of those findings
    - prompt others in the academic community to ask questions and

    give you valuable feedback that could further, and strengthen,


    your research

    Background
    Use simple backgrounds that provide some visual interest
    Always use the same background throughout the presentation
    Try not to use backgrounds that are distracting or make it

    difficult to read the words


    Example:

    Color
    Use a text color that contrasts with the background
    Use color for emphasis
    Keep colors simple; less is more
    Use colors sparingly
    Use colors to tie points together

    Fonts
    Fonts should be standard and easy to read
    Times New Roman, Arial, Calibri
    The title of the slide should be about 44-point
    The body of the slide should be about 22-point

    You do not want your font too small so that your audience has to strain to read it

    CAPITALIZE ONLY TO MAKE A POINT NOT ALL THE TIME


    Stay away from complicated fonts
    Use one font style throughout

    Slide Layout
    Avoid text heavy slides
    Avoid full paragraphs unless quoting

    Create a slide for each main point because it


    Keeps presentation focused
    Helps the audience concentrate on each point
    Prevents audience from reading ahead

    Each research presentation, regardless of your field of study,

    should contain some common sections

    Be aware that your particular research project will dictate the

    exact sections you will have


    Introduction

    Background/Literature Review
    Research Question(s)
    Research Methods
    Findings/Data
    Discussion/Conclusion(s)
    Future Research
    References
    Acknowledgements
    Questions

    Each presentation will have a title slide


    The title slide must contain the title of your project, which must

    be the same title you used for your abstract submission

    People will decide whether they want to attend your

    presentation based only on your title and abstract

    It must include your name, your faculty mentors name and

    department, and the name and location of your institution

    Humanities/Social Science
    In this section you want to inform your audience of all the
    relevant background information of your research project
    Each bullet point should be a concise summary of what you will

    tell the audience verbally

    Physical Science
    This is the section where you should explain why this research is
    important
    Give your audience the broader impact of your research so that

    they will have some context to put your scientific data into

    Humanities/Social Science
    This will be a brief literature review for your audience, where you
    discuss only the most relevant articles or texts that you used in
    your research
    In this section you would want to list the author(s) and a brief

    statement about what you gleaned from their work and how it
    helps aid your research

    If you are citing a text you might want to include an image of the

    book cover

    In some cases, an example would be historical texts, you may

    want to include an image of the author

    Physical Science
    This will be more of a background section, but you will cite your
    sources
    This section is where you start to discuss other studies that have

    been performed

    You want to convey whats been done and how your research is

    different or an improvement

    Ex:
    Fascaplysin selectively inhibits Cdk4 (IC50 = 0.55 M) and also suppresses
    the proliferation of leukemia cells L-1210 (ED50 = 0.2 m mL-1).1,2
    1. Garcia, Marcos, D.; Wilson, A. James; Emmerson, Daniel P. G.; Jenkins, Paul R. Chem. Commun. 2006, 2586-2588.
    2. Aubry, C.; Wilson, A. J.; Jenkins, P. R.; Mahale, S.; Chaudhuri, B.; Marechal, Jean-Didier; Sutcliffe, M. J. Org. Biomol. Chem. 2006, 4, 787-801.

    State your research question it should stand alone on this slide


    This section should not be fancy and will most likely only be one

    to two sentences

    The goal is to showcase your research question so that your

    audience can let it sink in for a moment

    Example research question:

    In this section you should share with your audience how you went
    about collecting and analyzing your data
    Example 1:

    Example 2:

    In this section you want to clearly organize and display your data

    and findings

    This is where graphs, charts and images are most helpful


    Let the data do the talking in this section and just explain the

    graphs, charts and images that you are presenting to your


    audience

    You will analyze and discuss this data in the next section

    Not every table and graph is good


    Do your best to display your data in the most clear, concise way

    possible
    Remember that your audience will only have a minute or less to
    view your table/graph
    Examples:
    June

    July

    August

    September

    Purple Snails

    25

    50

    Green Snails

    15

    25

    35

    60

    Do you think this is a good table?

    The following is a much better way to display the data on the


    previous slide:

    What makes this graph so much better than the table on the previous
    slide?

    This section is a concise summary of your main findings


    Ideally you should be able to state the answer to your research

    question that you initially posed in the beginning

    If you have only begun to answer your research question tell the

    audience what you know thus far and what you plan to do next to
    fully answer that question

    This is also where you will analyze and discuss the answers you

    obtained from the data you showed on the previous slides

    Do not make this slide too overwhelming, but rather keep it to

    the main findings

    Not all presentations will have this section, but at your stage of
    research you will most likely have future research goals.
    State your goals in a bulleted format
    Add a sentence about why you believe the research should go in

    this direction

    You may want to briefly mention how you plan to implement

    these research goals

    In this section you do not want to include your entire reference

    list that is in your research paper

    Its best to include 3-5 key references


    Be sure your references are in the proper format (APA, ASA, ACS,

    MLA or Chicago style) for your field of study

    This section is used to thank the people, programs and funding


    agencies that allowed you to perform your research.
    Be sure to thank:
    Your faculty mentor
    Any post-docs or graduate students that may have helped you
    The UCSB McNair Scholars Program
    And anyone else you may want to add

    Its great to include a final slide that simply says Questions? or

    Any Questions? in the center of the slide

    If you DO NOT know the answer to a question:


    It is always a bad idea to fake an answer to a question
    Just say something like:
    I actually dont know the answer to that,
    but its a great question and I will look
    into it.

    Follow-up with this person after your presentation so you can

    send them information on what you discover

    Its often a good idea to have some extra slides prepared at the

    end of your presentation to answer anticipated questions

    Any Questions?
