Oral presentations are an essential part of communicating research results to a scientific audience and represent an important aspect of being a professional researcher. The overall aim of this training is to present strategies and techniques for giving a successful talk at an international scientific conference, and be able to freely communicate successfully with international academic
and professional community on a CS related topic. Academic presentations could be based on research in progress, unfinished work or the full drafts of a research paper. An academic presentation is sort of like an advertisement for the paper rather than an attempt to present all the information in the paper. You need to focus on what is important, highlighting the bold outcomes and results is the key here. This class is designed to give you training and experience in delivering effective oral presentations in various academic and professional settings. It is intended for students who have little or no experience giving formal presentations in English in front of an academic community. In addition to focusing on the content heavily, structure and delivery of oral presentations, we will highlight certain aspects of public speaking, including pronunciation, volume, intonation and gestures, to help improve your overall presentation skills. We will also discuss how to make PowerPoint / Keynote presentations, including slide design, content presentation, critical thinking about audience perception etc.

In particular you will learn:
1. How to deliver a presentation on a specific topic with relevance to both technical and societal
importance.
2. Communicate with foreign community on a research topic.
3. How to prepare and structure an oral presentation
4. How to define presentation aims
5. How to make yourself understood
6. How to use presentation tools and media effectively
7. How to prepare for and respond to questions from the audience.

The training consists of theoretical inputs, exercises, best-practice examples, feedback and discussions. The focus, however, will be on practical exercises with student-interest topics. With the help of short video-based documentary-styled presentations, you will get the chance to improve content, structure, speech and body-language. After the training, you know how to give convincing
presentations at an academic meeting/conference. You are prepared to set up and give your own presentation, be a more confident speaker, and know how to reduce stage-fright. Ideally, you attend this course while preparing for an upcoming scientific meeting/conference that you will attend, or for
any academic presentation that you could be planning for.

Achievement of students may be recognized as having earned the academic credits for this seminar by reporting following cases to the Dean of the Graduate School.

1. A submitted paper as the first author which was accepted for publication in a scientific journal.
2. A presentation of research results which was made as an oral presenter or presenter at a poster in an academic conference, a symposium, or a work shop, etc. (excluding those organized solely by the UoA) They do not necessarily need to be the first author of a relevant paper in this case.

In case of publication in a scientific journal or presentation at a referred academic conference, at least one presentation, and in case of publication in a non-refereed journal or presentation at a non-refereed conference, at least two presentations will be required.
When reporting, students will first prepare the "Report for External Presentation Seminar" and submit this form together with information of relevant journals or conferences (a title page of the journal, a "Call-for-Paper" announcement and a conference/meeting program, etc.), a letter of acceptance (for refereed papers), a copy of the paper published, materials used for presentation (slides, etc.). Limited to refereed journal papers, students can apply for the academic credits prior to publication of relevant papers if they submit a letter of acceptance of the paper.
Application for recognition of academic credits for the above mentioned publication/presentation will be accepted at any time. Earning of these academic credits will become official as of the date of finalization of academic grades for the quarter when these academic credits were authorized by the Graduate School Academic Affairs Committee. The academic grade for all applicants recognized as having earned academic credits in this manner will be "A." Students are not required to register for the course by themselves.
Students can earn academic credits in this manner just once during their enrollment in the Master's Program.

Advance application for recognition of academic credits for external presentations will be accepted only if the applicant satisfies the following conditions:
- Acquisition of academic credits from this seminar course is critical for the applicant to undergo the judgment regarding authorization for completion of the Master's Program;
- The said external presentation will actually take place before the judgment regarding authorization for completion of the Master's Program is conducted; and
- The applicant can prepare the above-mentioned form, "Report for External Presentation Seminar" , after his/her presentation. Applicants are required to prepare "Advance Application for External Presentation Seminar"  and submit this form along with other evidence for the date and contents of their presentations, for example, a presentation program or a certificate of registration. In addition, these applicants, immediately following completion of their presentations, must submit the "Report for External Presentation Seminar" .

Students will be required to report what they did in the seminar to the Dean of the Graduate School at the end of their grade along with the predetermined report form.
Students will be evaluated at the end of the grade by their research advisor based on research activities throughout a year, seminar activities and presentations made in their laboratory, and result of Research Plan Presentation , etc.

"Implementation of "Research Plan Presentation"
Students are required to implement Research Plan Presentation in their 1st year and pass it. Spring enrolled students must make their presentation in the designated schedule in Q2, and fall enrolled students must make their presentation in the designated schedule in Q3.
Students will prepare a research plan for two years, make presentation on the plan, and prepare a report following the presentation. They will also participate in presentation meetings for colleague students and research progress reports by senior students as audience and ask questions regarding research plans and/or research progress reports presented. Presentations, questions and answers will be conducted in English, in principle.
