无聊小站

由于考过了某个科目，也许没机会再见到那位教授了，所以呢，把它记给我们的这一封经典邮件公布出来。

Some students came and asked me some questions: so here are the FAQs

An outline is an outline: check the dictionary.

(3) how long is the outline?
As long as the outline is.

(4) what to talk about?
The talk should be focussed on the experimental part: (for example ONLY — Do not follow
this !!) hypotheesis, experimental design (eg was there replication? etc), what was the
expt about? results? discusion? can expt be improved? etc etc

(5) is there a question time?
Yes, every presenter will be asked some questions, and ALL students are encouraged to
ask questions. Marks will be given to students who participate in discussion. If no
student asks, then I will call a student to ask question. Marks will be given to
presenter on how the questions are answered,

(6) do i have to use powerpoint?
NO, you can also use overhead project, or just talk only.
