[Dana Bresee Keeth]

*Dr. Jean-luc Doumont will return to teach his popular Seminars on 
Presentation and Writing Skills Jan 27 and 29, 2-4:00 pm, 10-250*

Articulate, entertaining, and thought-provoking, Dr. Doumont specializes 
in professional speaking, writing, and graphing, and incorporates a 
unique engineering perspective.  He trains and presents at top-ranked 
universities, research laboratories, major conferences, and companies.  
He holds an engineering degree from the Louvain School of Engineering 
and a PhD in applied physics from Stanford University. Details below.

*Making the Most of Your Presentation
**January 27, 2014, Monday, 2:00-4:00, Room 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
**January 29, 2014, Wednesday, 2:00-4:00, Room 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.
