RUHR UNIVERSITY BOCHUM

Before You Present

• Who is your audience?


– Adjust style, language, technical detail.

• What do you present, and why?


– Deliver key points, cut the rest.

• Present effectively.
– Your audience should listen, not read.

When Presenting

• Appearance: Feel secure.


– University is relaxed, other contexts may not be.

• Talk freely, and make eye contact.


– If you feel insecure, practice.
– You’re delivering your work, no need to hide.

• Relax.

• Finish strong.
– Summarize your work, in few key points.

When Presenting: Working From Home

• Check your microphone


– High-quality audio is easier to listen to
– audio test: conf.dfn.de/webapp/conference/9791

• Video helps creating a dialogue


– Speaker? Video helps your audience follow your talk.
– Attendee? Video shows the speaker you’re interested.

• Audio, video & background (your room) are part of your appearance.

PRESENTATIONS
THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY

5
Creating Engagement

BAD:
“Helo today I present a presentation.”
“First I do motivation, then I do main part, then I conclude.”

• After this intro, we still have no idea what to expect from you.
• Of course it’s a presentation with some structure. Skip it!

• Motivate & engage with your content.

Creating Engagement

Better:
“I’ll show you how to hack LTE networks now!”

“What makes mobile networks special, what are the


weaknesses, and what could operators do better?”

• We immediately know what to expect.

Presenting Technical Stuff.

• Presenting complex topics is difficult. Really.

• You are the expert.


– Don’t show off your knowledge.
– Use your knowledge to simplify for the rest of us.

• You have 5 min time and a napkin for drawings.


– What would you tell? This is the essence of your talk.

TITLES – AN ACADEMIC PERSPECTIVE | MERLIN CHLOSTA | OCTOBER 14, 2019 8


Presenting Technical Stuff: Bad Example

• Too many details.


• Too small.
• Nobody will listen.

• BAD slide! Don’t copy!

Presenting Technical Stuff: Better Example

User Base Stations Core Network

• Nice and easy. Doesn’t distract. Supports your presentation.

Presenting Technical Stuff.

• Next slide is a big table. Only show important data.


• Take your time to explain. Otherwise, the audience
won’t follow.

• If you don’t want to take the time, it means it’s not


important enough. Skip it.

Finishing the Talk.

• As a very last slide, give 2-3 takeaways of your work


– Something worth remembering. Do not just summarize, conclude!

• “Thank you for your attention”


– Say it – but don’t write it on a slide. Have the takeaway slide open. This
helps following discussion.
– Clear signal that you’re done; now the session chair takes over to
moderate questions.
