    Academic presentations have become an important and integral part of both academia and work. They are a good opportunity to make research results public and to receive feedback from the academic community. Yet, the success of a presentation depends on a professional performance as much as on the quality of the research. It is through a convincing performance that a presenter can grab the attention of the listeners, the presentation can have a lasting impact, and the research can be communicated effectively to the audience. In coaching sessions, we will discuss how your academic presentation in English can achieve such goals. You will get the opportunity to practice your MM12 presentation and receive feedback on your performance. In addition, we will look at ways to manage nervousness and critical situations to enhance your personal presence. Please note: We will NOT discuss how to structure or format a presentation and how to make it visually appealing; rather you will receive feedback on your performance skills. If you need additional support with respect to structuring/the set-up of your presentation, you can make an extra appointment with Richard Dawton previously to the dates on Nov 30/Dec 3. NB. To make the most of the workshop, please be prepared to present the module presentations that you prepare for Thursday, December 6. Each of the research teams is given a 60-minute slot: Friday, Nov 30, Room: A1 0-005  8:00-9:00 Group A  9:00-10:00 Group B  10:00-11:00 Group C  11:00-12:00 Group D Monday, Dec 3, Room: A1 0-005  8:00-9:00 Group E  9:00-10:00 Group F Contact: Richard Dawton Language Center Room: A05 1-136 +49 441 798 -4618 richard.dawton@uol.de office hours by appointment

    This workshop will provide a gentle introduction to some of the commonly used quantitative data analysis techniques. We aim to show the participants that many techniques in quantitative methods are actually very intuitive, fun, easy to learn and implement. Once the participants get an intuitive understanding, they can start focusing on the interpretation of results and even design their own studies at a basic level; perhaps a survey. We will have a hands-on session showing the participants some of the core analysis techniques. We will mostly use the free and open-source software R. Below are some freely available resources for R. Many of these resources are online cookbooks and include hundreds of materials. Participants can copy/paste R codes for various analyses and start using the software right away. Feel free to explore and play around with these materials before coming to the workshop. We will also show application in STATA for those who might prefer different software. Material/Readings • R Examples Repository, Daniel Wollschlaeger: http://dwoll.de/rexrepos/index.html • R for Data Science, Garrett Grolemund, Hadley Wickham: http://r4ds.had.co.nz/index.html • A Language, not a Letter: Learning Statistics in R; An online collection of tutorials created by graduate students in psychology: http://ademos.people.uic.edu/index.html • An Introduction to Statistical and Data Sciences via R, Chester Ismay and Albert Y. Kim: http://moderndive.com/ • Learning statistics with R: A tutorial for psychology students and other beginners, Daniel Navarro: http://learningstatisticswithr.com/ • For those who might prefer a different software an excellent book STATA: A STATA Companion to Political Analysis by Pollock P.H. (2011) • Additional material can be found on: http://www.statmethods.net/about/books.html • Friendly statistics with lots of gentle introductions, YouTube channel of Joshua Starmer: https://www.youtube.com/user/joshstarmer

Writing and using poetry to think/talk about researcher identity and location. 2.

As a research communication strategy, how can we translate our research to poetry for greater public engagement. Readings • Chilisa, B., Major, T.
