Overview & objectives

I have asked you each to present your final projects in a very brief lightning talk format during the final two weeks of the course. The talks should be no more than 5-6 minutes in length (each person will have about ten minutes total including Q&A and transitions between speakers).

I have provided a suggested format for your talk below, but please feel free to deviate as you deem appropriate.

Suggested format

You'll only have 5-6 minutes, so my recommendation is to focus on providing the following information:

  • Project context (including research question(s) and hypotheses)
  • Data and methods of analysis
  • At least one finding
Since some of you will still be working on the analysis, it's fine if this is preliminary/descriptive. If you would like to discuss ideas for this, please contact the teaching team.
  • At least one (anticipated, if necessary) takeaway from the analysis.

You might even want to produce 4 fairly simple slides corresponding to that outline!

Schedule

Please sign up below. We'll need at least ten people to sign up to present on Week 9!

Logistical note

Slides are certainly not required! That said, should you choose to use slides there is a computer in the classroom and you're welcome to use it. Indeed, rather than spend a lot of time connecting/disconnecting everyone's laptops, you may want to put a pdf copy of your slides online somewhere and use the classroom computer to retrieve them before class on the day of your talk.
