Presentation papers:

We will have two types of presentation during this course.

The first type of presentation will be a 30 minute presentation on one of the following papers. Please note that students will present on Feb 9th and 16th. Each paper will have a presenter (30 minutes) and a respondent (in charge of driving a 10 minute discussion). You will be marked as a presenter and as a respondent. Papers will be assigned by random draw on January 5th. If you would like to select your papers (one as presenter and one as respondent) prior to the first day of class, email Dr. Figeys with your preference and this page will be updated accordingly.

The second type of presentation will occur on April 13th. It is increasingly common in some conferences and in board meetings to only have 5-10 minutes to explain an idea or to present research. Hence, the second type of presentation will help you get ready to deliver short presentations while still carying the message. you will each have to select a paper from the litterature relevant to the course. This needs to be a peer reviewed article with new data and cannot be a review nor an opinion article. As well, you can not choose a paper related to your past or current research. On April 13th, you will each have 10 minutes to explain your paper to the group. You need to provide me with a copy of the paper you selected by March 2nd at the lattest.
