Motivate well: use diagrams, examples from industry and everyday life; bring out economic or scoial benefits.
2. Speak loudly and clearly. Don’t mumble.
3. Prepare the lecture site well before hand.
4. Slide should not spill over (outside) the screen. Adjust zoom lens or OHP location to fix this. Also focus well.
5. Keep weights on your slides to avoid them flying away. Use weights on all OHPs: used, to be used, in use.
6. If you have xeroxed slides onto transparencies, they may come with tissue paper separating them. Replace the tissue paper with thick (or regular) paper. Otherwise, it will blow and rustle whilst you are handling the OHPs.
6. Use a sharp pointer. Do not use the end of a pen that is blunt and will cast a shadow several inches wide, and your audience will not know where you are pointing.
6. Make sure your pointer does not cover up the slide material so as to make it difficult for your audience to read the slide.
6. Keep to time (practice several times)
7. When (if) told to skip to last slide, obey promptly.
8. Look for feedback by eye contact and gestures from guide and others.
9. Distinguish between where work of others ends and your (original) work starts. Take credit for what you have done; announce it loudly.
10. Don’t assume the questioner knowns more than you. Don't assume question has a deeper, sinister meaning; asnwer straightforwardly.
11. If you can’t hear a question or comment from the audience, come closer and ask.
12. Answer only the question asked. Answer in loud spoken words, not by gestures. Don’t mumble or eat words while answering.
13. Make sure graphs have a) axes labeled with units, names, values, b) curves with marking (symbols) and bold lines clearly distinguishable, c) a title at the top.
14. Once you place a OHP slide on the OHP check on the screen that
a) aligned
b) no spill over
Then, don’t touch it again till the end; you may missalign it.
15. Keep a small alarm clock on the table to help you keep time. Don’t use your wrist watch for this – it is disturbing.
16. Keep eye contact with your audience.
17. In oral presentations, don’t read out equations. Give the gist.
18. Before submitting, sign the acknowledgement page.
19. Have an exact copy of submitted report for your reference during presentation.
20. Avoid covering parts of your slide during your talk.
21. If you slide your slide upwards, check each time to see it is aligned.
22. In Nomenclature, give: abbrevaiation or symbol, name, defining equation, first ref in text, as well as units. In addition, a Glossary of terms is useful.
23. In listing applications of the material/process being discussed, clearly distinguish between potential application, and the actual application of the item under study.
24. Be prepared for question on relevance of your topic/work to Chem engg/industry.
25. Speak slowly, don’t speed up to fit within time. It is better to cut our slides.
26. Smile and be confident.
