Writing any scientific work, whether it's course work,diploma, master's or dissertation, always ends with her protection before the expert commission and those present who are interested in the topic and issues.
Writing a diploma qualification work isa multi-stage and labor-intensive process that requires competence from the researcher. One of the most important stages is the preparation for the final - the protection of the work, at which the author must submit a report, presentation and handouts to the diploma.
For an effective and memorable performance it is necessary:
- to prepare competent speech;
- choose the optimal manner of oral presentation. The text written in the scientific style is not always well received by hearing;
- prepare a handout that will help those present to understand the topic, it is easier to perceive different kinds of data.
Scientific results in most casesassume the presence of quantitative indicators, graphic drawings, systematic tables. The handout is an illustrative display of the main stages and conclusions of the research project, designed to facilitate understanding, to interest the listeners and to provoke discussion.
Presentation, created in any graphiceditor, for translation on the projector during protection can be duplicated in paper version. Such handouts are offered to members of the commission for the convenience of its perception.
Functionality and advantages of illustrative cards:
- each person can individually consider the data;
- those present for themselves determine the necessary time to study the information that the handout contains;
- there is an opportunity to repeatedly return to one or another drawing, table, chart and formulate questions during the speech of the speaker and the discussion;
- Interested participants in the discussion can take with themselves handouts for further detailed familiarization with it.
In contrast to the above, the presentation in electronic form has a consistent nature and a clear time for keeping one frame on the projector.
How to pay attention to the handouts?
The speaker needs to take careprepared additional material was not left without attention. If the listeners simply decompose the illustrations and do not mention them, then probably they will remain untouched.
The report recommends that the audience focus on a particular slide.
The use of introductory phrases in the right places according to the text of the report will help to emphasize and captivate people.
For example:
- "... on Table 3 you can see these results ...";
- "... in illustration 2.2, we have more clearly demonstrated what we said ...";
- "... if you study the data of slide 5, then it becomes clear to you that ...";
- "... read the diagram on the 6th illustration, which confirms the announced results of our thesis research."
Such appeals along the course of the report will help to understand the part of the handout material that is present.
