What should I do at CAU? Teach mathematical modeling at CAU Teach writing research papers and presenting research! New to me!! CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

First time in China Love It! Communication?! Teaching = communication Hands: pointing Head: yes / no I do not speak and understand Chinese! Teaching = communication I Need a translator CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Hobby: Basketball player and coach CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Why does heat always flow from hot to cold? Heat is motion of molecules Motion is mechanical All motion can be reversed (mechanics) My “best paper” explains what is called “the second law of thermodynamics” that is not well understood CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Research Papers: Questions to ask What is the message? (tell your mother!) What is new/novel? (tell your mother!) What are the results? (tell your mother!) How to continue this research? How could the paper be criticized? C0 T0 CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Research papers: Content Abstract: Message, Novelties, Results (short!) Introduction: Catcher, Literature, Novelties Main part Start to write Present results in a logical order Reorder if necessary Redo / modify if necessary (computations) Titles/sections/subsections at the end CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Research papers: Content Conclusions/Discussion Main results, novelties Interesting by products/views Possible criticism Continuation/future research CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Research papers: Language Read a lot of papers in English “Copy” expressions from other papers written by native speakers Do not copy more than that! Use internet translators Use human translators/research partners Let someone else correct the language Learn from these corrections! CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

My “best paper” explained to my mother Second law of thermodynamics: still controversial! Heat does sometimes flow from cold to hot! Only on a very small scale On the large scale it always flows from hot to cold New: my explanation uses only mechanics NO statistics The explanation, like the statistical one, is due to the large scale Criticism: To simple mechanical model of molecules CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Break: 15 minutes Possible Group Assignments Take a very good paper. Find the message, what is new, main results, criticism, continuation research. Take a paper of yourself and do the same. Try to improve this paper. Give a presentation about this in 15 minutes CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Research Presentation Start with a catcher to get attention Personal story Personal experience Recognizable/Typical situation Short movie Asking a question Show something remarkable At the end of the presentation link to this catcher again! CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Research Presentation: Sheets Do not write sentences, write keywords Do not read the keywords, tell the associated story Not to many keywords on one sheet Do not go into details, tell main novelties and results No mathematical proofs / large computations No complicated schemes Use pictures / one picture may replace many words Use videos or parts of videos Show objects CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Research Presentation: Behavior Do not stay behind your computer, move around Use a pointer Use gestures, be lively, enthusiastic But not too much Look to the audience, eye-contact, are they still paying attention? Ask questions regularly Try to keep them with you or get them with you again (see above) CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Research presentation: End Come back to the catcher: What have we gained, learned, obtained? End enthusiastic What other important, interesting things are there left to do? CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Research presentation: Preparation & Practice! Estimate the time of each sheet Practice, preferably in the same room and preferably with an audience giving feedback See if you keep the time schedule: not too long, not too short CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

End Homework: Search and obtain a paper that you want to analyze and give a presentation about. Next time: Perform the analysis as a group (45 min.) Finish at home. Prepare presentation (45 min.). Last time: Three presentations of 15 minutes followed by 15 minutes feedback CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Lecture 2: I made a mistake Teaching is taking small steps Everyone should participate, work hard If things last too long, they become boring Assignments should be feasible C5 T5 CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

New assignment Everyone prepare a 5 minute talk about a personal experience. 30-40 minutes preparation time. Ask the help of your neighbor or me. Structure: Catcher, Message, Come back to Catcher. After the break: Random pick of 5 people to present 5 minutes feedback after each presentation C5 T10 CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Feedback What was the catcher? What was the message? Did speaker come back to catcher? Start mentioning good/positive things Always be respectful Be critical but polite/friendly C5 T15 CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Example from TED! C5 T20 CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com

Prepare your talk What is my catcher? What is my message? How do I come back to catcher? Take an impressive personal experience Ask help if needed: neighbors, me Be critical on yourself No more than 5 minutes! C0 T20 CAU 2/25/2019 Gerard van Willigenburg, Wageningen University, http://gvw007.yolasite.com
