Covering all aspects of presentations--poster presentations to oral and even video presentations—this text provides students with thorough coverage of presentation of their research. This brief handbook helps students in their professional development as they learn the ropes of sharing their work and experience the thrill of becoming part of a strong scientific community.
Wilson and Schwartz offer applied, step-by-step instructions on how to present research in a professional manner. Their book includes example poster layouts, checklists for preparing a presentation, and assessments to show students what members of the audience (and instructors) are looking for in their presentation. The latest presentation software and methods are included with coverage of Keynote and asynchronous video presentations covered in separate chapters.
"Presentations can be overwhelming to students . . . the tone [of this book] may help to relieve some anxiety . . . This text is excellent for both novice and more experienced students. It will be a very useful manual for students who are required to prepare a poster presentation for course fulfillment [and] also for students who present research at regional and national meetings." -- Angela M. Sikorski
"This is a major component to my course—oral and poster presentations—and something my department is looking to enhance within our majors." -- Christopher Klein
"I like the comprehensive approach to presentations . . . from personal prep beforehand, to creation, to following up afterward." -- Anthony D. Hermann
This guide helps students to understand better the publishing process and to realize that publishing is an outlet that they, too, can strive to accomplish and that it is not a privilege reserved only for advanced researchers. Upon completion of this guide, students will be better equipped with the skills to share their own research, from the classroom to a conference to a professional journal. -- Renee Boburka, East Stroudsburg University, USA
