General schedule
• External speakers: 20th of October – 15th of December (8 sessions)
• BIOTEC Forum: 8th of December
• Presentations: 5th of January – 2nd of February
13
PowerPoint presentations are supposed to convey a good idea what the presented method is (not) aboutContent of PowerPoint presentation
• Introduce / explain the method (incl. background, basis of method)
• Give examples of application of the method
• Critically discuss strengths and limitations of the technique
• Answer questions and lead discussion
14
PowerPoint Presentations: Please consider some key points when preparing your presentation!
• Take care of presentation working before the start of the seminar (own computer -> check interplay between computer and projector; computer of instructor: provide and check file (.ppt, .pdf, .key)
• Hand in hardcopy of presentation before presenting
• Grades according to quality of the presentation based on evaluation sheet available online

Presenters are encouraged to obtain feedback about their slides from the
instructors prior to presenting.
18
Chalk talks are supposed to convey a good idea what the presented article is about
Content of chalk talk
• What is the question the article tries to explain? Introduce / explain the background
• Briefly explain the method used
• Explain the results
• Discuss conclusions drawn from the results
• Answer questions and lead discussion
19
Chalk talks: Please consider some key points when preparing your presentation!
• Chalk talks require MORE preparation than PowerPoint talks!
• Drawing while talking requires a lot of concentration:
• Make sure to be very familiar with the article
• Practice the talk at a blackboard
• Practice what to draw
• Check timing
• Hand in hardcopy of an outline of before presenting
• Grades according to quality of the presentation (based on evaluation sheet)
