Presentation Quiz 1. The desired number of slides for your presentation is: a) About 3-4 per minute b) About 1 per minute c) About 4 minutes per slide
3
Presentation Quiz 2. The best approach to presentation content is: a) Put exactly what you will say on the slides b) Put your key points on the slides, but discuss them more generally c) Put additional information on the slides that you want people to know, but don’t have time to talk about
4
Objectives 1. Creating a conceptually clear presentation The Big Picture 2. Creating a technically clear presentation The Details
5
A Conceptually Clear Presentation? Tell a story In our society we are overloaded with data – place your data in context What story are you trying to tell? There is a problem, a question, an untested theory or something we don’t know You are going to try to solve, answer, test, or find out more
6
A Conceptually Clear Presentation? Structure your story Background Methods Results Conclusions or Implications
7
Background the relevance of your topic Synopses of literature (1-2 slides) Identify the gap your work addresses (1 slide) Research hypothesis or research question (1 slide)
8
Methods (2 -3 slides) what you did Population Study design Data elements Dependent variable Main exposure/independent variable Covariates Analytic approach
9
Results (2-3 slides) what you found Tables and figures are preferable Keep them simple and using disciplinary conventions when possible If presenting numbers or statistics in a table, highlight the results If you put quotes on the screen, read them
10
Conclusions (1-2 slides) what it means Don’t restate results, but draw results together to address your story Implications Limitations Future directions
11
Final Slide (1 slide) Simply acknowledge you are finished Acknowledgement of people and groups that helped your research Begin a discussion (Q&A)
12
Anticipatory Slides Additional analyses “Just in case” (2 or more slides)
13
A technically clear presentation? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbfactc12 Vw&feature=endscreen&NR=1www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbfactc12 Vw&feature=endscreen&NR=1
14
Making Text Clear Text Appearance Ariel, Corbel, or other clear font 24+ Size White/Yellow/Light Green on dark background Text Usage Bullet points, not sentences Avoid acronyms Use color to highlight important words or transitions Do not overdo text on a slide
15
Making Graphics Clear Graphics Use graphics to replace text when possible Any graphic should have 6 or fewer new pieces of information Label graphics clearly Use color to highlight important aspects of graphics Use animation only to teach
16
Other items to consider Prezi or other presentation software Demonstrations References Handouts; printout Multiple presenters Cue cards; notes; printout Size of screen and room Taking questions while presenting
17
Examples Example 1: Part of my literature review included how technology has historically changed organizations
18
History of Technology in Organizations 180019002000 Industrial Revolution 1811 1945 Computer Revolution 1888
19
Examples Example 1: Part of my literature review included how technology has historically changed organizations Example 2: I had research questions examining different parts of a social process
20
Perceived Agency Perceived Agency Emotion Focus Computer Representative I argue that customers’ perception of the representative’s agency is the primary mediating mechanism by which customers that interact with computer representatives direct their emotions toward the organization
21
Perceived Agency Perceived Agency Emotion Focus Computer Representative Research Questions 1 and 2
22
Perceived Agency Perceived Agency Emotion Focus Computer Representative Research Questions 1 and 2 Research Question 3
23
Perceived Agency Perceived Agency Emotion Focus Computer Representative Research Question 4 Research Question 3 Research Questions 1 and 2
24
Research Questions 1. How does computer identity affect a representative’s perceived agency?
25
Research Questions 1. How does computer identity affect a representative’s perceived agency? 2. How does an organization’s constraint differently alter computer representative’s perceived agency?
26
Research Questions 3. Does perceived agency direct the focus of emotion? 1. How does computer identity affect a representative’s perceived agency? 2. How does an organization’s constraint differently alter computer representative’s perceived agency?
27
Research Questions 4. Does perceived agency account for any computer\ human differences in the focus of emotion? 3. Does perceived agency direct the focus of emotion? 1. How does computer identity affect a representative’s perceived agency? 2. How does an organization’s constraint differently alter computer representative’s perceived agency?
28
Research Questions 3. Does perceived agency direct the focus of emotion?
29
Summary – RQ3 Perceived agency influenced the focus of emotion for the uncooperative conditions, not the cooperative conditions – Supports the conduits and barriers argument
30
Examples Example 1: Part of my literature review included how technology has historically changed organizations Example 2: I had research questions examining different parts of a social process Example 3: I had results that came from a complex table
