Presentation

• Usually, the colloquia are held at WH 0.05 and take 20 (internship) or 30 (final assignment) minutes. The final 5 minutes are meant for answering questions from the audience and discussion.
• Visit the secretarial office to plan a date for your colloquium. Contact your coach and professor to pick a date that is most suitable. It is wise to pick a date reasonably early.
• If it concerns a SEMiNar meeting you should fill out this application form and email it to the secretary who will make an entry in the MN calendar
• You are advised to hold a practise session of your presentation, before the actual one. Organize this with your fellow students and/or your coach.
• Although it is not required, you are urged to use the English language during your colloquium.

• Start with a clear, understandable introduction
• Clearly state the formulation of the problem
• Find a good balance between broad outlines and specific detailsTune to the level of your fellow SE students
• Give a clear and concise recap of conclusions and recommendations.

• Articulate well, in a clear and lively voice
• Do not speak too swiftly, use correct English and keep eye-contact with your audience.
• Make good use of the available visual aids.
• Prepare your sheets or PC presentation using the Systems Engineering style

• Is the message of your presentation coming across?
• Are you sure you have a thorough knowledge of your subject's matter?
• What kind of discussion and questions do you expect?
• Do not exceed the time limit!
• Make sure in advance that everything you need is present and working properly!
• If needed, bring your own notebook. The group can provide a beamer.
• Be on time, prepared, and relaxed when you start your presentation.

To create the graphics part of a presentation you can choose more than one way to do it:

• Use the MiKTeX  environment with the beamer package.
• Use the PowerPoint program, which is part of the Windows Office suite.

Both programs have their strengths and weaknesses, its up to you to choose whichever you like best.

Remember:

• Do not 'overcrowd' your sheets
• Use approximately 1 sheet per 3 minutes
