  • Seminar presentation instructions

    Instructions for the presentation in the Master's thesis seminar:

    • A student preparing Master's thesis shall give an oral presentation on his/her work when the work is nearly complete, but before applying for approval of the work. 
    • The seminar presentation time will  be agreed with your supervisor and by default your supervisor will monitor the presentation. After presentation supervisor will inform school that presentation is given.
    • The goal of the seminar presentation is to give the student an opportunity to show that he/she is able to present his/her work in a concise form, within given time limits, and use appropriate audiovisual aids. At the same time, the student has an opportunity to get feedback on his/her work.
    • The time reserved for the presentation is 20 minutes (the time is shorter than you may think!).
    • The material has to be planned for a 20 min presentation. For completeness, there may be more slides (e.g. curves) but then all of them are not presented. The slides have to contain at least the following information:
      • the title of the work, the names of the student and the supervisor, the place where the work was carried out
      • outline (table of contents) of the presentation
      • the background and the problem studied in the work
      • the methods used
      • most important results
      • conclusions and possible future work
      The slides must contain enough text so that the main ideas (and what was your contribution) become clear also to a person who doesn't hear the presentation.
    • The slides are prepared in the format of either a *.pdf (recommended) or *.pptx file.
    • Presentation slides must be send to your supervisor no later than 2 week days before seminar presentation.
