Preparing your Oral Research Presentation

This practice-oriented workshop focuses on the ways that a thesis or dissertation can be set-up and organised structurally across disciplines, as well as considering the concept and principles underlying writing 'flow' (taking a whole text / discourse view). It looks primarily at the traditional question-based doctorate, and secondarily at the thesis by publication and the doctorate in creative arts (DCA).

As you approach the end of each stage in the UTS Doctoral Study Framework (DSF), you will be required to undertake a formal assessment to determine whether you can progress to the next stage. Each faculty will have its own format of assessment at each of the stages, but most expect you to give an oral presentation framing your research project and plans. As you progress you may also wish to present your research at academic meetings, conferences, and within other various governmental/non-governmental organisations.

This practice-oriented workshop covers the basic principles involved in planning and making oral research presentations for academic and other audiences. It will also assist with preparation for a conference presentation or the three minute thesis (3MT) and deal with issues of effective planning, presentation software and more

The session covers the following aspects concerning oral research presentations:
• Common types of presentations – research seminars, conferences
• Preparing the presentation
• How to communicate with impact
• Practice presentation principles in small groups
