Giving a Talk:

Conclusions



Finally, a last piece of advice. Giving a successful talk takes a lot of effort, and more than a bit of experience. Don't get discouraged if your oratory ability is found lacking your first time out. Take seriously suggestions made by your audience, and try to improve for next time. Soon you will be an expert in the preparation and presentation of technical seminars!
