How to ... ... do a good presentation: The three most important rules

• Your prime target is your audience
• Visualize! The slides are the visual support of your talk
• Tell a story

... come up with good questions

• Take out paper and pen
• Listen and write down points you are interested in, do not understand and/or want more details about
• Be self confident

... be relaxed while giving your presentation

• Sorry, there is no real help (good preparation is key, though)

And the one thing NOT to do

• DO NOT COPY
• You will be failed for plagiarism
