Instructor: Weichung Joe Shih, Ph.D.,
University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
Outline:
Effective presentation does not
come out naturally for many of us. It
requires observation, training, and
practice. This is especially true for
presenting statistical work in English while
English is not the mother language for
most ICSA members. In this 2&1/2-hour
evening workshop we will discuss
principles and tips of making an effective
statistical presentation in various
occasions including, for example, interview
seminars (academia versus industry),
professional society meetings (contributed
versus invited paper sessions), or informal
talks in a small group setting. This
workshop is to help those who are about
graduating from school or have just started
the professional career. The course
material will be the instructor's personal
collection of examples from many years'
experience in observing and practicing
statistical presentations. Registered
students are encouraged/expected to bring
their own presentations to the workshop
for practice and group discussion.
