Student Research Seminar
|
GSA is pleased to announce an extension to our
autumn seminar series (EE 592). This winter quarter GSA will be offering a
course dedicated to research presentations from graduate students within
the department. We urge faculty to encourage your students with
upcoming talks (i.e. thesis defense, conference presentation, etc.) to
sign up if they would like to present. Please note that you do not have
to present a talk in order to sign up for this course or register for the course to present.
|
The goal of this course is to introduce graduate
students to the environment of technical presentations, from the
perspective of both audience and speaker. Each week a student will give
a presentation on their current research. Speakers can use this as a
practice-run for an upcoming conference talk or thesis defense. Students
in the audience are asked to complete feedback forms, which are given
to the speaker after each presentation. This course not only provides
valuable feedback to speakers, but also provides a chance for students
to learn about research being done by fellow students in the department.
In addition, students in the audience get a chance to learn how to
actively listen to a technical presentation and ask insightful questions.
|
Early in 2007, we had Professor David Farkas of the Technical Communications department
give us an informative talk with tips for giving a good technical presentation. His slides are available
here in PPT format.
