| - | ====== Speaker Instructions ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The basic parameters of a JC talk are: | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Duration**. Plan to talk for about 20 minutes and spend an additional 5 minutes fielding questions. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Topic**. Typical journal club talks discuss an academic paper which is not the speaker' | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Preparation**. If you're a less-experienced presenter, the organizers can help connect you with | ||
| - | a subject-area expert who can spend a little time helping you get oriented with your topic. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **PowerPoint**. Feel free to use it if you want. In the interests of saving preparation time and | ||
| - | practicing extemporaneous speaking, you may wish to keep your usage of it to a minimum, only to | ||
| - | show key plots or equations. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Feedback**. If there' | ||
| - | know, and they' | ||
| - | |||
| - | === Choosing a Topic === | ||
| - | |||
| - | Here are some ways you could choose a topic to present: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Present a paper that you needed to read anyway (if it isn't extremely discipline-specific) | ||
| - | * Present a classic paper | ||
| - | * Present a paper that generated interesting discussion at the '' | ||
| - | * Present a paper connecting to the previous day's or next week's colloquium | ||
| - | * Present a paper in a field that you're unfamiliar with and would like learn a bit more about | ||
| - | |||
| - | It's important that Journal Club appeal to as broad a cross-section of the department as | ||
| - | possible, so try to choose topics which will be accessible and interesting to those who | ||
| - | are nonexperts in them. | ||
