2. Presentation Quiz 1. The desired number of slides for your presentation is: a) About 3-4 per minute b) About 1 per minute c) About 4 minutes per slide

3. Presentation Quiz 2. The best approach to presentation content is: a) Put exactly what you will say on the slides b) Put your key points on the slides, but discuss them more generally c) Put additional information on the slides that you want people to know, but don’t have time to talk about

4. Objectives 1. Creating a conceptually clear presentation  The Big Picture 2. Creating a technically clear presentation  The Details

5. A Conceptually Clear Presentation?  Tell a story  In our society we are overloaded with data – place your data in context  What story are you trying to tell?  There is a problem, a question, an untested theory or something we don’t know  You are going to try to solve, answer, test, or find out more

6. A Conceptually Clear Presentation?  Structure your story  Background  Methods  Results  Conclusions or Implications

7. Background the relevance of your topic  Synopses of literature (1-2 slides)  Identify the gap your work addresses (1 slide)  Research hypothesis or research question (1 slide)

8. Methods (2 -3 slides) what you did  Population  Study design  Data elements  Dependent variable  Main exposure/independent variable  Covariates  Analytic approach

9. Results (2-3 slides) what you found  Tables and figures are preferable  Keep them simple and using disciplinary conventions when possible  If presenting numbers or statistics in a table, highlight the results  If you put quotes on the screen, read them

10. Conclusions (1-2 slides) what it means  Don’t restate results, but draw results together to address your story  Implications  Limitations  Future directions

11. Final Slide (1 slide)  Simply acknowledge you are finished  Acknowledgement of people and groups that helped your research  Begin a discussion (Q&A)

12. Anticipatory Slides  Additional analyses “Just in case” (2 or more slides)

13. A technically clear presentation?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbfactc12 Vw&feature=endscreen&NR=1www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbfactc12 Vw&feature=endscreen&NR=1

14. Making Text Clear  Text Appearance  Ariel, Corbel, or other clear font  24+ Size  White/Yellow/Light Green on dark background  Text Usage  Bullet points, not sentences  Avoid acronyms  Use color to highlight important words or transitions  Do not overdo text on a slide

15. Making Graphics Clear  Graphics  Use graphics to replace text when possible  Any graphic should have 6 or fewer new pieces of information  Label graphics clearly  Use color to highlight important aspects of graphics  Use animation only to teach

16. Other items to consider  Prezi or other presentation software  Demonstrations  References  Handouts; printout  Multiple presenters  Cue cards; notes; printout  Size of screen and room  Taking questions while presenting

17. Examples  Example 1: Part of my literature review included how technology has historically changed organizations

18. History of Technology in Organizations 180019002000 Industrial Revolution 1811 1945 Computer Revolution 1888

19. Examples  Example 1: Part of my literature review included how technology has historically changed organizations  Example 2: I had research questions examining different parts of a social process

20. Perceived Agency Perceived Agency Emotion Focus Computer Representative I argue that customers’ perception of the representative’s agency is the primary mediating mechanism by which customers that interact with computer representatives direct their emotions toward the organization

21. Perceived Agency Perceived Agency Emotion Focus Computer Representative Research Questions 1 and 2

22. Perceived Agency Perceived Agency Emotion Focus Computer Representative Research Questions 1 and 2 Research Question 3

23. Perceived Agency Perceived Agency Emotion Focus Computer Representative Research Question 4 Research Question 3 Research Questions 1 and 2

24. Research Questions 1. How does computer identity affect a representative’s perceived agency?

25. Research Questions 1. How does computer identity affect a representative’s perceived agency? 2. How does an organization’s constraint differently alter computer representative’s perceived agency?

26. Research Questions 3. Does perceived agency direct the focus of emotion? 1. How does computer identity affect a representative’s perceived agency? 2. How does an organization’s constraint differently alter computer representative’s perceived agency?

27. Research Questions 4. Does perceived agency account for any computer\ human differences in the focus of emotion? 3. Does perceived agency direct the focus of emotion? 1. How does computer identity affect a representative’s perceived agency? 2. How does an organization’s constraint differently alter computer representative’s perceived agency?

28. Research Questions 3. Does perceived agency direct the focus of emotion?

29. Summary – RQ3 Perceived agency influenced the focus of emotion for the uncooperative conditions, not the cooperative conditions – Supports the conduits and barriers argument

30. Examples  Example 1: Part of my literature review included how technology has historically changed organizations  Example 2: I had research questions examining different parts of a social process  Example 3: I had results that came from a complex table
