Poster and PowerPoint Presentations – 2nd Year Pharmacy Students (2010-2010)
An updated (basically alphabetical) schedule for presentations of 2nd Year Pharmacy students who have submitted a proposed topic and/or team will be posted before the actual day of your exam. Depending on the time and the availability of the teacher, the others will present after the scheduled students/teams have finished.
Please try to comply with this plan so that we have enough space & time for the presenters and audience. Presenters should show up in time and minimise disturbance and interruptions. Of course, if there are special situations, you may “negotiate” the time/order of your presentations. I’m flexible and so are your colleagues (I hope). However, if we drift away too much from the schedule, I’m afraid I’ll have to reschedule some teams/students (e.g. next week same day & time).
Please don’t forget that you actually present your work to an audience not only to your teacher and you should avoid reading [too much] from notes or talking to the poster or the computer screen. Make sure you can let me know who did what in the project, in case I ask that. There will be a laptop available for PowerPoint presentations so make sure you bring your work on a memory stick or CD-ROM. I hope we’ll also use a video projector, thanks to your OSF colleagues.
Approximate time for a team: 10-15 minutes (this includes 3-5 minutes for questions or comments).
The aspects I’ll be looking at include (but are not restricted to):
- content and graphics
- correctness of written and spoken language
- fluency
- intelligibility
- turn-taking strategies
- general impression
The final results will be issued as soon as I have worked them out.
I’d appreciate it if you informed all your colleagues about this. Thank you and … Good luck!
