Skills Series

You have a lot of choices about how to communicate your research. In this session, we will use a message scheme called And-But-Therefore to organize your message in a compelling way for your audience. 

It's a universal experience: Every single one of us has sat through a presentation with slides that distracted from the speaker. Perhaps you even had a good nap because the speaker read every word on every slide. In this session, we will identify the classic PPT pitfalls that limit our audiences' ability to receive our message.

Have you ever heard anyone say, "know your audience"? That's great advice, but how do you do it? In this session, we will explore the "how" of getting to know your audience. This workshop is primarily relevant to oral presentations, but may also be useful to writers with a specific audience in mind.
