4.2 Process checklist 
The review process is usually iterative with the number of iterations 
dependent on the complexity and depth of the topic under review. The 
following checklist provides a typical example of the process:  
The 
aim
 of a student presentation is to demonstrate that you  
•  Are competent in and comfortable with your subject 
•  Are able to explain your work verbally 
• Appreciate 
the 
significance of your topic and 
•  Understand what is important in the work you are presenting 
4.3 Prepare
 for a presentation  
•  Think about what your audience want to hear 
•  Identify the main points you want to present 
•  Outline a presentation plan with time allocations 
•  Produce audio-visual aids 
•  Test presentation and delivery time with other students 
•  Anticipate what questions are likely to be asked of you 
4.4 Deliver
 presentation (modify to suit your requirements)  
•  Introduce yourself and the topic of the presentation  
•  Outline the aims of your study and foreshadow the outcome 
•  Tell people what to expect from your presentation 
•  Overview of project planning and management (to demonstrate 
that although you do not have time to present full details that 
you have covered all the bases) 
•  Brief literature review (to set the context for your study) 
•  Materials (data and software) 
•  Methods (principles and examples rather than detail) 
•  Results (clear and logical) 
•  Discussion (main points only - include critical comment, 
limitations, error, etc.) acknowledgements 
4.5 Style 
Use an accepted style and be consistent. Whizbang Powerpoint tricks 
generally distract the audience and will receive a cool reception from 
people interested in 
what you are saying (e.g. assessors).

Assessment will vary depending on the level of study and significance of the 
presentation within the overall assessment. Check with your 
lecturer/supervisor for specific details. The following assessment criteria are 
commonly used:  
1.  Verbal presentation (clarity of voice, eye contact) 
2.  Appropriate use of aids/graphics 
3.  The design of the study 
4.  Analysis and interpretation of results 
5.  Quality of science (adherence to scientific methods) 
6.  Response to audience questions 
7.  Ability to complete the presentation in the given time 
4.7 Procedure 
The procedure for presentation sessions is simple and will usually be along 
these lines:  
1.  Order of presentation, time allowed for presentation and 
questions, and ground rules for warning presenters going over 
time will be laid down before the session by the Chairperson 
2.  Audio-visual materials should, if possible, be loaded and tested 
at the venue before the presentations begin 
The Chairperson will call for speakers, keep watch on the time, and 
control the question time at the end of each presentation.
