1.       What makes an effective presentation introduction in your opinion (think of more academic, content-heavy talks)? What questions should the introduction answer for the audience?

2. What are some different ways that speakers can capture the audience attention at the beginning of a presentation (and to make them intrigued, think of the relevance of the topic, connect to the topic, etc.?)

 3.       Why do you think many presentation guidebooks emphasize the importance of using brief summaries and linkers to upcoming points when moving from point a to b, etc.  (“now that we have explained how X works, let’s consider its structure more carefully”)? Do you agree with this advice? Have you tried to incorporate such summaries and linkers in your presentations before?

 4.       What makes an effective conclusion in your opinion (think again of more academic, content-heavy talks)?

 5.       What are some good rule-of-thumb principles for slide design and use? (how many slides / length of talk, how much text to include, etc.).

 6.       How should citations be marked on the slides?

 7. What tips do you give for a classmate who feels a bit nervous about presenting---- about physics and/or in English? How to prepare?  What kind of notes to use if any?

 8.       What aspects are important when building a group presentation?
