SWTest Podium Presentation Flow Organize the presentation with a fairly simple outline Introduction / Background Objectives / Goals Methods / Materials / Procedures Results / Relevant Findings / Key Data Discussion of Results / Strengths / Weaknesses, etc. Summary / Conclusion Follow-On Work Overall Content You are presenting to colleagues in the wafer test industry; so naturally they are interested in your talk. They want to learn how your ideas may affect or help them. However, you only have the floor for a short amount of time, so communicating a few key / significant ideas / points will stimulate interest and encourage off-line follow-up to further discuss more complex ideas. Use of color, pictures, charts and illustrations will liven your presentation. Short video movies that highlight a procedure and are integral to the presentation are acceptable. Author
Presentation Timing Timing and Pace Rehearsing 30 minutes for each presentation 20-25 minutes for the talk 5-10 minutes for questions or discussion Tailor the overall pace, charts, and illustrations to permit the audience to follow and understand Avoid long sentences, jargon, new terms, formulae, tables, etc. Rehearsing Reduce presentation anxiety by practicing with co-workers Become certain of the time it takes to deliver the presentation We will stop your presentation if you run over your allotted time Explore possible questions with your rehearsal audience Author
