Create a PowerPoint presentation of the results of your questionnaire study. The presentation should last only 5 minutes, so don't be too ambitious.

You will give this presentation sometime during week 9 or 10 to your academic advisor You will also need to submit a hard copy of your presentation (in handout format) with your lab report in week 10

Title and your name Very brief background Hypotheses Population tested Graphic representation of results (tables or figures) Summary of findings (link to hypotheses)

Take a handout of your slides in with you for a prompt. Do not just read the slides out loud Look at your audience, not at your notes, feet, or escape route If youre nervous, look at one person and imagine its just them youre talking to If youre not nervous, move your gaze around the audience

Choose a legible colour scheme Red and blue do not go together Have either dark writing and a light background or light writing and a dark background Write a little: Does alcohol impair face recognition? Say a lot: The experiment was designed to assess whether alcohol intake influences subsequent memory for faces

Decide what you want to show You dont have to show all your data Fit the data you show to your hypotheses Some general principles: Be constant in your colour-coding (e.g. If green = male participants and yellow = female participants on your first graph, stick to it for the other graphs) Dont get too flashy – 3D figures are much harder to understand

Graphs: Copy and paste from Excel Use graph-builder in PowerPoint Drawings: Use Shapes tool to make a line drawing

Your presentation should only last 5 minutes! Approximately: Title: 1 slide Introduction: 1 slide Methods: 1 slide Results: 3-5 slides Discussion/Conclusion: 1 slide

Week 8/9: Make a first draft of your presentation Week 9: Present to friends to help you practice; ask them for feedback; alter your slides if you need to Week 9/10: Present to academic advisor
