Advice for the Coming Weeks

If you have images that you expect to project during your talk, it's a good idea that have them up on your laptops so we can actually view them while you do your Presentations. There will be glitches, but it's good to do a few dry runs of this sort of thing. For the actual symposium we usually put everybody's presentations and images on the same laptop to minimize prep time confusions and so on. But for our first read-throughs things will be a bit more ramshackle.

Remember, nine pages of text is probably all you will have time to read, so cull and edit from your theses carefully. Please, read the nine pages you choose a couple of times the night before you present, to get the hang of things. TIME YOURSELF each time you read.

There are pieces of advice about posture, projection, reading, hand placement and so on that everybody will benefit from hearing, and which I will be repeating over and over again if past is prologue.
