PRESENTATION TOPICS
G25.1815
MACROMOLECULAR STRUCTURE
FALL 2003
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRESENTATIONS:
[1] EVERYBODY WILL HAVE A TOTAL OF 18 MINUTES. PLEASE COME TO CLASS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE IF EVERYONE IS THERE WE CAN START. WE WILL START WHEN EVERYONE IS THERE, OR 3:30, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
[2] PLAN TO SPEND NO MORE THAN 13 MINUTES ON YOUR TALK. THE REST OF THE TIME IS FOR DISCUSSION. I WILL CUT YOU OFF AFTER 13 MINUTES.
[3] YOU SHOULD USE OVERHEADS TO ILLUSTRATE THE IMPORTANT FIGURES AND POINTS IN THE PAPER. THESE SHOULD BE DERIVED FROM THE ORIGINAL PUBLICATION, NOT FROM THE REDUCED B&W XEROX IN THE LIBRARY. IF FIGURES ARE IN COLOR IN THE ORIGINAL, YOUR OVERHEADS SHOULD BE IN COLOR, AS WELL. START LOOKING FOR YOUR ARTICLES NOW. IF THEY ARE HARD TO FIND, TELL ME. IF YOU START MAKING YOUR OVERHEADS THE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR TALK, YOU MAY HAVE ONLY GARBAGE TO SHOW. POINT ON THE SCREEN, NOT ON THE PROJECTOR.
[4] EVERYBODY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY PAPER. THAT IS WHY WE HAVE 5 MINUTES OF DISCUSSION SCHEDULED. YOU WILL BE GRADED ON YOUR DISCUSSION PARTICIPATION. EVERYBODY STARTS WITH A DISCUSSION GRADE OF 'C', A FAILING GRADE FOR A GRADUATE STUDENT. HOWEVER, IF YOU ASK A DUMB QUESTION, INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE NOT READ THE ARTICLE, YOU WILL GET A GRADE BELOW 'C'. GOOD QUESTIONS DO NOT REPEAT WHAT THE SPEAKER JUST SAID, BUT INVOLVE CLARIFICATION OF POINTS RAISED. IF I AM UNSATISFIED WITH THE QUALITY OF DISCUSSION, I WILL GIVE A FINAL EXAM ON THE CONTENT OF THE PAPERS. OTHERWISE I WON'T.
[5] PRACTICE YOUR TALK AT LEAST 30 TIMES!!!
