by James Davis 02 Dec '19

Hey folks, Here's the plan for tomorrow. Giving effective verbal technical presentations is an important skill for PhDs. You use this skill when you give conference talks, defend your qualifier, defend your prelim, and defend your PhD. Tomorrow, we'll *watch several research talks and then discuss what seems to make an effective presentation*. We'll focus not on the content, but rather on how it is communicated. - Logistics: Tuesday, 12/3, 12-1 PM, KW2 2225 - Topic: *Dissecting presentations* - Food: RSVP here <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ot-dqk-fCKK2TjfoOmLjEzApW28A-_AotmO…> See you tomorrow! ~Jamie -- Jamie Davis PhD candidate, Computer Science. 2015-2020 Virginia Tech http://people.cs.vt.edu/~davisjam/
