You are the expert on your research - present your work confidently
-
Present as if the audience is unfamiliar with your research topic
-
If there are multiple presenters, one solution is to connect with other presenters through a video conferencing platform, record the presentation, then upload the video
-
Visual elements (such as PowerPoint slides) can be included
-
Make sure to introduce all presenter(s)
-
Make sure your presentation does not exceed 10 minutes (and shorter is better)
-
Anticipate and address some questions you think a live audience would have
-
If you have any questions, email student.research@wku.edu
