Man knew the supervisor was gonna ask the question before even she knew she was going to 🤣🤣

I have my EPQ presentation this week, also currently applying to study medicine this year so this video is extremely helpful! Thanks

[@RohanYesudian]

Awesome glad it was helpful Benjamin!

How did it go? Hope y got in medicine or if not its going well anyways

[@kcowling3324]

Thank Rohan, I'm sharing this with my EPQ students as it shows how to structure a presentation extremely clearly. Good luck in your future studies!

[@RohanYesudian]

Thanks so much that's really encouraging to hear!

Thank you Gama

Mine is a humanities one on 'what is 'rubbish art? ' and dose the rubbish keep their 'Eigengift' or specific quality, but this is very useful to see the structure and what needs to be included for my presentation on Saturday with my art history course for state schools with Art for everyone.

Try to make sure your question isn’t double-barrelled, make sure it’s one clear question.

[@lp6677]

Thank you for sharing this! This was a really interesting talk, very well paced and you made it easily understandable due to your clear explanation of terminology and the additional use of visual aids. I’m looking to do my EPQ presentation and noted that you chose not to include your methodology in your talk, I was wondering why you decided not to include this in your presentation? If you were to do the EPQ presentation again, do you think you would include this or what else would you do differently? Any feedback would very much be appreciated.

[@RohanYesudian]

Hi L P thanks for the feedback. What exactly do you mean by 'methodology'? My project didn't involve original research it was basically just a literature review. I didn't include much in the way of methodology of the papers I read because firstly I probably didn't know how to read papers very well at that point in my career! Also I wanted to avoid unnecessary details particularly most of my audience were not in the field of science. However towards the end of my talk I did talk a bit about my approach to the project, and at the start I did include details about title progression which is important in the EPQ. Over the summer I'm thinking about doing a few videos about research skills for EPQ as well as how to approach it, so maybe that would be helpful.

[@lp6677]

Hi Rohan, that sounds a really good idea. It would definitely help EPQ students. In terms of methodology i was wondering the process by which you sourced and applied the literature to the scientific debate. Did you implement any quantitative studies and if so why did you decide not to include this in your presentation?

[@monicajoseph4163]

It was nicely explained Rohan.... Me being a lay person could understand you... All the best

[@RohanYesudian]

Awesome great that you understood!

[@krisnanupigg]

For medicine, should i do an EPQ with 3 A levels, 4 A levels or 3 A levels and an AS level?

[@jahfarkazmi711]

hey, bro great presentation. I'm currently working on my own epq but I'm struggling on a structure for it. by structure I mean like introduction, why i chose the topic, what when wrong, what I could do better, etc. could you please help me on the layout and what to do each section on and in what order. thanks in advance. and again great work your a very well put-together guy and very confident.

[@RohanYesudian]

Hi Jahfar thanks for the message. It’ll be quite hard for me to give any specific advice without me knowing what your project is about. I think picking a good title is very important, because that will guide the project. It should ideally be a question which you can use research to answer in a conclusion. See the video again for how I developed my title. Avoid really general titles because that doesn’t give much scope for discussion. For intro, talk about what you have read before or any ideas you had on the topic. Basically then go on to say why you found it interesting that you wanted to devote hours and hours into researching it! Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions

[@jahfarkazmi711]

@@RohanYesudian my project title is 'was 911 an inside job'. could you please give me a rough sort of structure. the main bulk of it is going to be research. also in my case, i feel my argument for my project is kind of one-sided, do you think it would be good to discuss conspiracy theories that can be disproved or just stick to the facts of why it was an inside job.

[@RohanYesudian]

@@jahfarkazmi711 unfortunately I'm not an expert in this field, it would definitely be best to ask your project supervisor or a school teacher for guidance. It doesn't matter if your project is one sided but make sure you acknowledge the other side and highlight the weaknesses in their arguments. I feel your title is still a bit broad, is there anyway possible you could make it more specific? For example the phrase 'inside job' is a bit vague. Also when you start your research that may give you a better idea of where your project (and title) will be heading so its definitely best to do a bit of searching to check what the scope of the topic is. Sorry I couldn't be of much help but I hope my suggestions are valid

[@graceback2322]

this was so helpful thank you so much, did you write a script for when you were doing your presentation or did you just improvise? my school are making us write scripts but i am just confused how to structure it :/

[@RohanYesudian]

I didn't have a script i made some bullet points for each slide (which you can see me holding in the video), but I rarely looked at them in the talk. It's odd that they are making you write a script it can really disrupt the flow of a presentation if you are reading off a sheet of paper / a screen. Have you asked them if you can use bulletpoints or go without notes instead? I feel that's a much more natural approach

[@graceback2322]

@@RohanYesudian Yeah I thought that it would be better if I could do bullet points instead but they have given us specific word counts for the script (e.g 1200-1500 words in total for the script) which even then the presentation is supposed to be 5-10 mins long so I don't understand how that's possible. Thank you anyway I think I might just do bullet points it will benefit me at least.

[@aminafarooq8331]

I have my presentation next week and I haven't completed making the presentation yet and it's on how stem cells can cure glaucoma. can you tell how like you found the information and made it into presentation factors such as plagiarism? are we meant to reword stuff or just write it and give sources at the end??

[@RohanYesudian]

Usually you reword things but if you want to use a figure or statistic from the source you can reference it in small text on the slide itself or at the end, it doesn't matter

I am currently in year 12 and not sure if I should do the EPQ. The main thing I feel worried and concerned about is the presentation at the end, everything else is fine. Also, how many people did you have to present too?

[@RohanYesudian]

Hi Gaanav - i've actually done a video on whether it's worth doing an EP (as well as a whole series teaching you how to do one)! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5DXXqiap5x7ncU In terms of your specific question, I think the presentation is much easier than the actual research and writing process of the EPQ. I only had to present it in a small classroom - so there were around 15 people in total

[@raheema3850]

@@RohanYesudian thank you!

[@steam_jane5580]

I had the same issue, I found that once my argument became clear I was able to formulate a title and see that my EPQ was really a question of definition. It will probably take a few attempts to get write, I went throught at least 3 attempts before I found my title and each time I was honing in on my argument and trying to make it clear Make sure the title is clear, specific so you can answer it, but not too specific that there is no research on it and makes sense to someone who may be coming in with no knowledge of the topic. With an EPQ I have been told that they like a question where there maybe a bit of a debate to unpick and it makes the reader want to get an answer. At least that worked for me, but I haven't submitted it yet, I've got my presentation this week, so we will have to see. Edit: right, not write silly me 🤦

Yes, I have mine on Saturday. At least for my exam board , the presentation is 20% of the grade and the rest, so the other 80% is on your main written work. Don't worry, look up what is need, practice it a few times, ask yourself some key question on the project and think about how to deal with questions. You will be fine.
