First of all, sorry for being such a wimp and avoiding my duties such as updating you with more than necessary info about IFSS2011. I'm trying to make this up for you one text at a time and is there a better way to start than giving you a brief info about LC presentations!
As every year, also this time each LC is expected to prepare a presentation on a chosen subject. This years subjects and instructions can be seen here. You all have already chosen one of these subjects during registration process. Unless you haven’t, please do so immediately and read this writing before coming to Finland.
I’m sure none of you have even thought about this thing yet so I and Veera (beautiful model in the pictures below) made you an example on HOW TO MAKE A PRESENTATION. Please follow these instructions and you’ll be safe from evil Finns that will stare you with an evil eye unless you haven’t done this on time. Grrrr.
Ok ok, just kidding. But here are some instructions:
Step 1. Decide a subject. That was easy. Here's what Veera chose:
Step 2. Prepare a short (2-4 pages) presentation concerning the matter. You can do it with a computer in your home country and just bring the file to Finland or send it via email to us well beforehand. Actually there is a deadline for sending the presentations and it’s already the end of June!
Step 3. Finish your presentation - in Finland! After your arrival in Finland, we’ll give you ALL necessary materials to build up your presentation. For example, here Veera is attaching printed text and pictures to her presentation - make sure that also you have both text and pictures!
Step 4. Finally the presentation is ready and you can start mentally prepare yourself for possible questions from other students!
OC will prepare exhibitions based on the material you've produced. During the exhibition participants have 1,5-2 hours time to see/look at the presentations. Minimum of one person from each LC is expected to present their work and answer to possible questions made by other students.
There are three exhibitions in total; one in the Southern, one in the Eastern and one in the Northern part of Finland. For example if your LC made a presentation on wood harvesting operations, prepare to present your work in Eastern Finland.
...and that was it, easy! In case of presentation emergency, please do not hesitate to contact us: info(at)ifss2011finland.com !
