Besides, your research fruits will be delivered to audiences and you get feedback from the discussion. In this part, we will talk about how to give an oral presentation and how to visualize the presentation. During the lectures, we will discuss how to deliver your research message to audiences and how to use visualization tools (PowerPoint/Prezi).
