When Giving a Talk

Dear Students,

In addition to the hints I told you about regarding "how to make a presentation" in the beginning of the semester,  please take the following into account when giving a talk (as scheduled) concerning the paper you will be presenting:
- do not forget to say where the talk is taking place; in this case, at UiO
- try not to read any notes/slides/etc. while presenting; your talk should be (or at least, seem to be) a talk; note that this does not mean that you should not rehearse!
- try to write your slides without misspelling any word
- remember that using a figure may be much more  enlightning than just text
- try to have a natural flow when going from one slide to another; just saying the title of a slide (X, Y, Z, etc.) is not a good approach
- try not to have full and long sentences in the slides

Best regards.
