Presentation Guide for 10th APRU DSC

Presentation in Paper Sessions
  • Time available
    • You have 15 minutes for your presentation and 5 minutes for questions and answers.
    • Please do not overrun your time.
  • Equipments/Tools prepared by the Committee
    • PCs for presentations
      • Basically we recommend you to use the PC prepared by the Committee so that a presenter can be smoothly switched to next presenter.
      • But you can use your own PC if there are any (technical) troubles such as compatibility issues between the prepared PC and your files.
      • If you will use the prepared PC, please copy your files (e.g. PowerPoint files, PDF files, movie files, etc.) to the PC and check its performance before your session start.
      • You can use the following applications on the prepared PC:
        • OpenOffice 3.1.0 or later version
        • PowerPoint Viewer 2007
        • Internet Explorer (You can connect the Internet by a wireless LAN.)
    • Laser pointers (we will not prepare indication sticks.)
    • Microphones
  • Notes
    • Many participants whose disciplines are totally different from yours will hear your presentation in APRU DSC. Keep in mind the followings:
      • Make your presentation content so that non-specialists for your discipline can understand the content.
      • Avoid technical terms or terms that non-specialists cannot understand as much as possible.
      • Specify/Define the meanings of the technical terms if you use them.
      • If you use a common term with an uncommon meaning, specify the meaning.
    • The first presenter will act as a chairperson in each session (for second presentation and after).
