Presentation Skills

Be critical of the paper, don't take it for granted

Next weeks will see your presentation of a research paper. The main rules remain the same than the previous presentation
Timing, 30 mn + 5 mn (questions time).
Think about looking at your public, speaking loud.

Here, you may imagine that you are one of the author of the paper, and you have to present it in a research conference. You have to explain :
- The context of your paper (what was done before you came, why something had to be done (what for), the critics against the other solutions, what you have done yourself before...)
Here, it could be interesting to provide references to other documents (other articles, books, web sites) that help you to understand the paper you have read.
- The content of you paper (what you have done, what are the interesting new elements, new developments, new ideas that make your work so "special")
- The after : what new directions could be followed, what things could be done, using what you have just presented.
NB. They are sometime research paper that are more about "state of the art" around a given subject. This sort of paper should be presented more like the previous presentation.
