Seminar paper presentations

You have 25 mins for your talk + 5 mins for questions. You will lose marks if you are unable to finish your talk in the alloted time or if your talk is shorter than 20 minutes. If you wish to use the desktop PC in the Lecture Hall, please load your talk before the start of the session. If you plan to use your own laptop, please check that it works with our LCD projector before the start of the talk. I will be available in the Lecture Hall from 13:45-14:00 on Thursday and from 09:15-09:30 on Friday to help you out with this.
