ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
Today it is expected of a PhD candidate to present effectively throughout the study and at the viva. But how do one ‘compress’ and present a 3-year work into a 20-minute presentation? How do one impress the panel of examiners and experts? What do they expect to see in my short presentation?
For examiners, it is quite easy to predict the outcome of a PhD viva. A candidate’s presentation at the beginning of the viva is the first telltale sign of the depth and breadth of a candidate’s understanding in the quest for knowledge. To be recognised and acknowledged as the expert in your own field of studies. Likewise, in any research presentations–proposal defences, seminars and conferences.
Yet many students falter, seem unsure of one’s work to give a presentation that impresses examiners. Based from my 13 years experience as a former academic sitting in numerous academic presentations, I have formulated effective ways for PhD researchers to give awesome academic presentations.
