I survived it.
OMG. lot of work went into this intense presentation the last couple of weeks with my classmate James.
And right after our 50 min presentation, we were given feedback from the 3 TAs (Patrick, Matt & Elena) and by the Prof Teru Nakagawa and Prof Christine Konradi. Other students are literally sent out of the room, so that we could be given individual feedback from the grading team. I got to go first then James.
Presenting with passion, nerves not intact,
Paper on CRH-PVN neurons stacked.
The audience watched, with eyes on me,
My words and slides, a neuroscience spree
Overall it came across well. As Elena put it, the fact of us not getting many questions at end showed the audience got a clear understanding of the material.
Some of the phrases used during feedback:
"throughly impressed," "I was very impressed," "easy to follow along," "excellent job explaining the paper," "structural organization was strong," "engagement of the audience was good.. keeping them involved," "one of the strengths in your slides was clearly explaining the data and why it matters to the overall story of the paper," "walked away understanding pretty much everything," "implemented all the suggestions," "kudos."
So feeling pretty good overall.
And a big sigh of relief.
