Please read the guidelines for presentation thoroughly, I have copied guidelines (in black font) below straight from the syllabus. As you read through these guidelines, you will find that you need to prepare a presentation and an abstract of 500 words. For presentation my topic is “Gut microbiota and Brain-axis or neuropsychological disorders etc.” (check those attached 6 primary articles). For this topic, I have 6 primary articles attached, which you must use to prepare this presentation along with the abstract. However, you can use other relevant articles along with these 6 primary articles, to take more information for background, history etc, etc., but please give the reference below the slides.

One very important thing: this is presentation for Graduate seminar of 600 level. Therefore, presentation must look effective and professional.

Please follow every single guideline given below.

I also want you to prepare a talk sheet for each slide (for myself, in order for me to give presentation).

*** please note that the attached Articles P1, P2, P3, P4, P6 and P10 are primary articles (you must use these) and P7 is extra article I had already downloaded in my laptop, so I am attaching it if its help you as an extra source of information. You can use extra articles if you want.

Guidelines for ORAL PRESENTATION-

Presentation must be organized in the manner instructed in the guideline with at least six (five peer-reviewed) primary articles. The ‘primary’ articles (at least six) you choose to describe in your presentation must be (1) the articles from scientific journals that report on original research, (2) recent articles from peer-reviewed scientific journals (no earlier than 2012), and (3) relevant to your presentation topic. Additional articles (above and beyond the seven required may be dated prior to 2012 for favorable grading. Secondary reference also can be used in the paper but neither credited nor penalized. No “general knowledge” source (e.g., general website information, Wikipedia, encyclopedia, newspaper, popular magazine, etc.) can be cited as reference.

Format for the Presentation

Each student will have 15 minutes for presentation plus 5 minutes for questions, answers and discussion. Here is a suggestion to prepare and deliver your presentation:

Outline & Timeline

1. Provide a brief historical context for the topic and whatever introductory information is necessary for the majority of the audience to understand it: 2-3 minutes.

2. Refer to each primary paper, while stating the question(s) that the researchers addressed and the hypothesis or hypotheses they were tested. You don’t need to give each paper equal time in your discussion. However, you should describe experimental methods, summarize important individual results, discuss the implications of the results, and provide any necessary critique: 5-7 minutes.

3. Present a collective summary of the findings: 2-3 minutes.

4. Give your thoughts on the status of knowledge in the field, your feelings on how this knowledge affects us all, and your opinions on where research in this area should go in the future: 8-10 minutes.

Guideline

1. Distribute responsibility for the components of your team presentation evenly among team members.

2. Don’t read your presentation directly from notes or slides.

3. Tell a story. Make your presentation into a narrative that is interesting and easy to follow.

4. Allow for an adequate transition between parts of your presentation and team members.

5. Speak clearly, audibly, maintain eye contact with the audience and use a laser pointer effectively.

6. Cite references as you refer to different studies; don’t wait until the end of your talk .

7. Use audiovisual aids effectively; don’t put too much information on a slide; choose items that add to the audience’s understanding; use color effectively; be sure that what is on the screen can be read from all parts of the room (use large enough type!); don’t speed through slides.

8. Following your presentation, you should have approximately 5-10 minutes to answer questions.

9. You should be prepared to generate discussion if the audience has no questions.
