Guidelines For Oral Presentations: Fill & Download for Free

Not sure if this entirely qualifies as purposefully, but points were still taken for a seemingly invalid reason, and I am still a bit pissed.I had just completed my oral final exam in social studies and was waiting for my grade in another room while the teacher and the examiner discussed my performance. The door to my room was opened and I was called in and asked to take a seat. We had a little small talk and I was presented with my final grade. I quote:“You could everything that you needed to, and a little more. We were quite impressed with your knowledge based on your activity in class. We have decided that you deserve a C. The reason that you have not gotten an A is that your presentation’s structure was all over the place.”I was speechless. Keep in mind, that the only grade that matters at my school is the final grade. I ended up leaving the grading after a handshake with the examiner thanking them for their time.When I got home I started to process what had happened. I felt that I had structured the presentation correctly according to the guidelines, and then it occurred to me what had gone wrong. When I was giving my presentation I was being interrupted as the examiner wanted me to delve deeper into a topic. I had abided to his request, after briefly explaining that I would be talking about the topic in a minute. This had been the only time that I did not adhere to the guidelines for the structure of the presentation, and it was because of the examiner’s interruptions.I should probably have discussed the grading with the teacher and the examiner, however, that was not on my mind at that moment.tl;dr: Teacher interrupts and deducts two grades because of it.

I'll try to make this answer brief.Abstracts, presentations and publications are the academic products, or the outcomes, of research activities. They are evidence that you have completed a research activity.Abstracts are short (approximately 1 page,) highly structured, summaries of the results or outcomes of a research project.The sections of an abstract include the purpose (including the background and significance of the hypothesis or research question,) the materials and methods (experimental design, an explanation of how you got your data,) the findings (summary of the results, outcomes and primary data analysis,) and the conclusions that can be drawn from the available information.Abstracts are submitted to US and international scientific meetings about six months prior to a meeting. The society clearly announces its “abstract deadline.” The society or association also clearly publishes “abstract guidelines.” Be sure to follow directions.The medical society has a scientific committee that reviews all of the submitted abstracts and “accepts” a portion of the most interesting and relevant ones for “presentation” during scientific sessions at the meeting. You will usually have 2 to 3 months to prepare your presentation between the time your abstract is accepted and the start date of the meetings.The presentations are of two types. Oral presentations are about 7 to 10 minutes in length with 2 minutes for questions. Poster presentations generally require about a 4 ft by 6 or 8 ft display elaborating on and illustrating the accepted abstract.The accepted abstracts are published in a publication by that society. When the abstract is published, you may add the title, authors and citation to the “Abstracts” section of your CV. After your poster or oral presentation, you may add the citation to the “Presentations” section of your CV.When you get home from the meeting, you get to write a full paper for publication in the society’s or association’s journals, or if not accepted by that organization, you may submit the completed paper to another related peer-reviewed journal. When your paper is published, you may add it to the “Publications” section of your CV. You may not publish a paper in more than one journal. If you continue your research, and have a larger n, longer follow-up, or additional findings and conclusions, you may write and publish a follow-up paper at a later time.That is a very brief description of “abstracts, presentations, and publications.”

It is a PowerPoint, Keynote, or similar presentation set of slides (usually accompanied by an oral presentation to would-be venture investors). There are many guidelines for what to put int he presentations. Check out the book “Pitch Anything” for guidance.
