3. Content 1  The first step in preparation of a research talk is deciding what to cover.  Based on a [paper] or [thesis], or on [work] in preparation. Mistake Most papers have far more detail than can be conveyed in half an hour. Problem Problems of this kind are highlighted in the experiences of research students. Thus The content must be selected carefully.

4. Content 2 Papers are usually specialized. When constructing a talk, begin by choosing the single main goal. Asking yourself what you want to tell the audience. It may be necessary to introduce basic concepts before proceeding to the results. That is, the particular idea or result the audience should learn. Then work out what information is required before the result can be understood. The interesting little issues explored, the technical problems confronted, the failings of the previous research.

5. Content 3  [Context] can be as [important] as the ideas themselves.  Take the time to explain why a problem is important, where it arises, or why previous approaches are unsatisfactory.  [Complex issues] should be presented [slowly] and in stages. Use repetition to emphasize major points Explain the impact of the work in several contexts Use key examples : show how it works, why it works, or problems it solves.

6. Organization  A standard structure is of a sequence of steps [leading the audience] to the [single main point].  Structure : the topic of the talk, any necessary background, the experiments or results, and the conclusions and implications of the results.  Logical structure : [preview - do - review] strategy  Use backward and forward references to show [how the current topic relates to rest of the talk]. Ex) “I previously showed you that…”, “I will shortly demonstrate that.., but first I must explain..”

7. The introduction  [The first few sentences] should show that the talk will be [interesting].  Make a surprising claim, argue that some familiar or intuitive solution is incorrect, or show why the problem to be solved is of practical consequence.  Before you reach the outline, make sure that [the goal of the talk is clear].  That is, explain where you are going before explaining how you will get there.
