General info
The presentation counts for 30% of the final grade
The presentation should be based on one of the suggested paper or paper selected by the students (with my approval)
Presentation should be between 8-10 minutes long and are followed by 3-5 minutes of questions. They should provide a big picture of the study and the main hypothesis, a quick presentation of the data, detailed explanation of analysis and results, and finally a discussion on the clarity and adequacy of the statistical analysis. If the paper is more methodological, the presentation should present a summary version of the paper and discuss what what harder to understand or not understood.
