Master-Thesis Presentation Advices

  • Only take contents and conclusion from the thesis to create the presentation from that, don‘t rewrite the thesis or try to compress it into the slides. Take the structure and best points for the defense of the thesis
  • Be positive about your work
  • Only use things/examples/topics you can explain in the presentation
  • Make more simple, colorful grafics especially for the presentation
  • Only 5-6 Points per slide, only keywords not sentence
  • Delimit own work and general theory
  • Practice the slide in front of friends at. least three times to gain confidence, let them time the presentation and use the colleagues to verify the technical understandig of the slides
  • Of you have a finished presentation Hold ist at your company early, behause you will probably get some feedback to include, so don‘t wait until the last day
  • I would not give a live demonstration if you want to show a system take screenshots or make a screencast as a video and use that
  • If you use a video make sure you are able to play it correctly at the location you present, assume no sound is available
