No plagiarism!
Plagiarism and plagiarism are strictly prohibited!
Plagiarism is always taboo when studying abroad, whether it is in academic writing or in academic presentations. Although the audience and the professor will not be able to tell which parts of the presentation are quoted from others, plagiarism is, first and foremost, not permitted based on academic ethics.
Modify referenced content or data at will
In some cases, the original content or data may not be suitable for your topic, or may not be prominent enough, so some students may choose to make some slight modifications.
For example, change statistics, interpret out of context. Remember! The above are prohibited!
Prohibited points in making an academic PowerPoint
Not too much
Don’t use too many words per page.
Try to keep the audience’s attention more on your presentation than on reading the PowerPoint.The text on the PowerPoint should only contain the key words of the presentation.
No Chinese subtitles are allowed
Be aware that you are giving an academic lecture in English, and that your audience is from different countries, and that only English is the only language in which your lecture can be understood by all.
Be free from sarcasm or derision
Although we see foreign media and crowds frequently and unabashedly mocking governments and expressing their views on policy, economics, and culture, academic presentations in the study abroad classroom should be as objective and neutral as possible, and should not be overly personal or subjective, and in particular should not be sarcasm or derision.
Taboo Points for Speech Presentation No Point
Don’t Bury Yourself in the manuscript
Burying yourself in the manuscript for an academic presentation instantly reveals that you have not prepared adequately. You don’t have eye contact with the audience and you can’t always receive feedback from them. It’s also difficult to keep track of the PowerPoint, which makes it easier to fumble on stage. Also, it’s really easy to shake your hand while holding the paper!
Not too fast or too slow
If you speak too fast, the audience will not be able to listen clearly or digest the speech, while if you speak too slow, the speech will drag and make people feel sleepy. The normal speed of speech should be 120-150 words/min. It is recommended that you count the words per minute when rehearsing, and adjust the speed if it deviates too much from this standard.
Do not appear before or after
The PowerPoint must appear before or after the oral presentation. Generally, the key words appear first, followed by the speaker’s oral presentation. If the PowerPoint appears before, the audience’s attention will be diverted; if it lags behind, the purpose of the PowerPoint cannot be achieved.
