Wissenschaftliche Präsentation

Man sollte einen schlechten Vortrag augenblicklich so zurückweisen können wie einen Wein, der nach Korken schmeckt. Christian Meier Es erfordert außerordentlich viel Talent, einem vernünftigen Manne etwas Neues und Wichtiges so leicht vorzutragen, daß er sich freut, es jetzt zu wissen. Georg Christoph Lichtenberg If you are teaching a class, you can think about the elementary things that you know very well. These things are kind of fun and delightful. It doesn't do any harm to think them over again. Is there a better way to present them? Richard Feynman
