Question: List and describe the four key principles researchers should follow when preparing and delivering an oral presentation, as outlined in the general guidelines.
Sample answer: The four key principles are: 1) The number of slides should equate to about one slide per minute of speaking time. 2) The structure of the presentation should mirror an APA-style report, utilizing slides for the title, background, methodology, results, and conclusions. 3) The delivery should maintain a conversational yet professional tone, speaking directly to the audience rather than reading from notes. 4) The slides themselves should act merely as visual aids, using concise bulleted lists or simple tables and figures instead of dense text.
Key points:
- The number of slides should approximate one per minute of speaking time.
- The presentation should mirror the structure of an APA-style report (title, background, methodology, results, and conclusions).
- Presenters should use a conversational yet professional tone and speak directly to the audience.
- Slides should function as visual aids utilizing bulleted lists, tables, or figures rather than dense text.
Rubric: Award full credit if the student accurately lists and briefly describes all four principles found in the text. Deduct points for missing principles or inaccurate descriptions.
