Making the Most of Your Presentation, featuring Jean-luc Doumont
Monday, January 27, 2:00-4:00pm, 10-250
Strong oral presentation skills are a key to success for engineers, scientists, and other professionals, yet many speakers are at a loss to tackle the task. Systematic as they otherwise can be in their work, they go at it intuitively, sometimes haphazardly, with much good will but seldom good results. Based on Dr. Doumont’s book Trees, maps, and theorems about “effective communication for rational minds” this lecture proposes a systematic way to prepare and deliver presentations.  Among others, it covers structure, slides, and delivery, as well as stage fright.

Structuring Your Scientific Papers, featuring Jean-luc Doumont
Wednesday, January 29, 2:00-4:00pm, 10-250
Papers are one of the few deliverables of the work of researchers. Well-designed, they efficiently allow each reader to learn only what he or she needs to.  Poorly designed, by contrast, they confuse readers, fail to prompt decisions, or remain unread. Based on Dr Doumont’s book Trees, maps, and theorems about “effective communication for rational minds”, the lecture shows how to structure scientific papers, theses, and technical reports effectively at all levels to get the readers’ attention, facilitate navigation, and, in this way, get the message across optimally.

How to Work a Career Fair
Thursday, January 30, 3:00-4:30pm, 4-237
Many students are overwhelmed when attempting to navigate a career fair with hundreds of employers. This workshop will provide tips and strategies on how be effective at the European Career Fair on February 1st. You will learn what to do in preparation for the fair, what to do at the fair, and what to do after the fair. The fair is an excellent opportunity to connect with employers -- create a strategy that will help you in this competitive employment environment! Events are open to MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and alumni.
