Ethos, Pathos, and Logos
Ethos—credibility Pathos—emotional appeal Logos—logical appeal (reasoning &
evidence)
![Page 3: Effective Oral Presentations Terry A. Ring Chemical Engineering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e265503460f94b1560f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Technical Presentations
Much more Logos (logic) than Pathos (emotion)
Strive for Ethos (credibility)

Planning the Technical Presentation
Identify the purpose and the presentational objectives
Define the audience Select a format and outline the presentation Organize data and information Draft the presentational script Design and integrate effective visuals Practice the presentation
![Page 6: Effective Oral Presentations Terry A. Ring Chemical Engineering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e265503460f94b1560f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Phase 1: Purpose and Objectives
Purpose– to inform, to teach/train, to persuade, or to sell
Objectives should be Clear and briefly stated Concrete Action oriented (when appropriate) Audience-focused
![Page 7: Effective Oral Presentations Terry A. Ring Chemical Engineering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e265503460f94b1560f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Phase 2: Audience Analysis
Listeners will differ according to: Informational needs Intended uses of data (of data, information,
recommendations) Knowledge of the topic Range of experience in the topic field Preconceptions of the speaker and presentation Demographics Size
![Page 8: Effective Oral Presentations Terry A. Ring Chemical Engineering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e265503460f94b1560f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Phase 2: Audience Analysis Cont.
Modify the topic, content, organization, format, and delivery
Anticipate and prepare for potential obstacles
Adjust, adapt, or alter the message during the presentation (This is hard to do!)
Design and include the most appropriate visual aids
![Page 9: Effective Oral Presentations Terry A. Ring Chemical Engineering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e265503460f94b1560f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Phase 3: Organization
Opening/Introduction Attention-getting component (less important than
Identification) Establish interest
Identification component Establish the topic significance, necessary
background, and main argument Forecasting component
Preview the order of topics
![Page 10: Effective Oral Presentations Terry A. Ring Chemical Engineering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e265503460f94b1560f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Phase 3: Organization Cont.
Middle/Body Determine and limit the main points Distinguish between main points and supporting
evidence Logically order the main points Decide on the kind and amount of evidence
needed Keep depth and breadth symmetrical Maintain unity and coherence of ideas
![Page 11: Effective Oral Presentations Terry A. Ring Chemical Engineering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e265503460f94b1560f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Phase 3: Organization Cont.
Examples of organizational strategies: Chronological or sequential Comparison or contrast Cause-to-effect Effect-to-cause Familiar to unfamiliar Geographical location Importance Problem - cause of problem - Solution
![Page 12: Effective Oral Presentations Terry A. Ring Chemical Engineering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e265503460f94b1560f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Phase 3: Organization Cont.
Conclusion Reiterate the presentation objective Review the main ideas Remind audience of the “so what?” behind your
research
![Page 13: Effective Oral Presentations Terry A. Ring Chemical Engineering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e265503460f94b1560f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Phase 4: Visual Aids

efficiency Assist the speaker
![Page 14: Effective Oral Presentations Terry A. Ring Chemical Engineering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e265503460f94b1560f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Phase 4: Visual Aids Cont.
Prepare appropriately Prepare with specific audience in mind Label drawings, figures, tables Label important features of drawings Show dimensions, measurements of drawings,
figures Use units consistently Cite all outside contributions
gives speaker credibility

Phase 4: Visual Aids— A Special Note on Power Point
Present one major idea per slide Use phrases rather than full sentences Limit words to no more than 8 per line Limit lines on the slide to no more than 8 Use parallel sentence structure
![Page 16: Effective Oral Presentations Terry A. Ring Chemical Engineering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e265503460f94b1560f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Phase 4: Visual Aids— A Special Note on Power Point
Design consistent slides Use the same colors, fonts, upper- and
lowercase letters, and styling (boldface, underlining, italics) throughout each aid
![Page 17: Effective Oral Presentations Terry A. Ring Chemical Engineering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e265503460f94b1560f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Phase 4: Visual Aids— A Special Note on Power Point
Utilize appropriate type Sans serif typeface for titles and major
headings, or when only a few lines of text appear
36-point type for major headings, 24-point type for subheadings, and 18-point type for the body of text
Use upper-and lower case type rather than all capitals
![Page 18: Effective Oral Presentations Terry A. Ring Chemical Engineering](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e265503460f94b1560f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Phase 4: Visual Aids— A Special Note on Power Point
Serif Sans Serif
small flourishes or strokes at the tops and bottoms of all letters
Times New Roman Courier New GaramondBook Antiqua
more block-like and linear; they are designed without these tiny strokes
Arial Narrow
Haettenschweiler
Verdana
Century Gothic

Phase 4: Visual Aids— A Special Note on Power Point
Use color wisely Apply color consistently across each aid Use warm colors to highlight Use blues, greens, and neutral colors
backgrounds Use contrasting colors for typeface and graphics Keep the number of colors you use to a
minimum Stay within the same family of hues
