Study Notes
Conclusions and Recommendations
- A conclusion is not a summary of the study, but rather a culmination of all findings, stating implications, inferences, and confirmations.
- A conclusion should restate the purpose of the study to help readers connect the entire study.
- Emphasize importance, and offer suggestions or recommendations.
- Conclusions should not introduce new material, but rather reference results and discussion.
Recommendations
- Are suggestive, action statements intended for fellow researchers, the general public, or for global advancement of information.
- Must be related to the study, and not introduce new material.
- Should be relevant, significant, and levelled properly.
Effective Presentation
- Message is key: the purpose of the presentation is to reveal research findings.
- Words and images are important: avoid jargon, acronyms, and complex charts and graphs.
- Rapport is crucial: interact with the audience to add strength to the presentation.
- Retention is important: end the presentation with a good idea, call to action, or even a knowledge gain.
- Guides and scripts can be used, but scripts or reading from a manuscript is not allowed.
Design Tips and Techniques
- Font styles: Serifs are used in publications and printed material, while sans serif fonts are used for visual presentation.
- Font size: at least 28 is often considered the minimum, and a good way to check is by backing away from your monitor at least four feet away.
- Number of lines and text: only include key terms/phrases, and follow the 7×7 rule.
- Emphasis in text: avoid animations, and use bold, italicized, underlined, or different font colors.
- Images: use relevant images that communicate one idea per slide, and choose SVG files over bitmap, bitmap over PNG, and PNG over JPEG.
- Graphs and data: summarize, visualize, or carefully consider including raw data in presentations.
