I'll have to give it a go. <br /><br />All the best, <br />MikeMike Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691914161022988987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7710244712476408021.post-14951920089208250672009-04-30T09:35:00.000+02:002009-04-30T09:35:00.000+02:00Dear Mike,

I use them all the time, especially with my biotech students, and these the questions we ask for each presentation:<br /><br />1. How does the presenter bridge the gap between his/her own scientific community and the community at large?<br />2. What is the take-home message?<br />3. Reconstruct the logical structure of the talk (that creates the scaffold to work on general presentation language.<br /><br />Often enough, watching these intellectually stimulating talks touches off valuable conversations, as it did in my class yesterday (http://annehodgson.de/2009/04/30/the-language-of-bacteria/)<br /><br />Have a good day! <br />AnneAnne Hodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225113474074315864noreply@blogger.com
