Research Presentation
For this assignment, you will choose one article from your two critiques to present to the class during a live Conference
session. You MUST submit your PowerPoint slides to your professor via Canvas before you present. Your PowerPoint
slides cannot contain animation, transitions, sound, and/or video elements since these will NOT work in a Conference
presentation. You will have 6 – 8 minutes to present the research.
1. Professional Appearance and Performance Presenter has a professional appearing slide presentation, speaks clearly, and has poise. For more about professional attire, see the NSNA guidelines for presenters and conference attendees. Please practice your slide presentation before class.
2. Powerpoint Slides Slides are clear and appropriate. Slides summarize the main points, but are not themselves the presentation. Results summarized in tables or graphs. Appropriate use of color. Graphics are professional and do not distract from the presentation.
3. Time limit Your presentation not including Q&A must be 6 – 8 minutes long.
4. Know material Presenter is familiar and comfortable with the material. Conveys that he/she understands the research forward and backwards, inside and out.
5. Do not appear to be reading slides or notes. The Powerpoint slides are your outline (see #2). You should know the material well enough that you present without appearing to be reading note cards or a script (see #4).
6. Present research clearly and adequately At the end of the presentation, we should understand what the researchers wanted to do, what they did, what they found, why it was good or bad, and how and whether we as professional nurses should change our practice as a result of the research.
7. Answer questions appropriately.
