With projects days and presentation days coming up, and summer research looming, what better time than for Geoff to remind us all about what makes presentations fail, and what helps them to succeed.
Students who took clinic as a junior will have seen an earlier version of this talk. If they'd like to substitute a different colloquium instead of Geoff's, they can do so by letting Joyce know which talk they'll attend in lieu of Geoff's talk.
HMC CS colloquium talks begin at 4:15pm sharp in Galileo Pryne on Thursdays. Prior to the talk, at 4:00pm, we have drinks and snacks in Hixon Court.
Some talks will take place at Pomona College, in room 101 of the Edmunds building (the new building on N. College Way that houses their Computer Science Department). These talks are considered part of our HMC colloquium series.

If you are a CS major, the Thursday 4:15–5:30pm time-slot belongs to CS Colloquium. An event is held every week at this time (sometimes at Pomona College).
You should plan on attending colloquium every week. To handle situations such as illness, Clinic site visits, forgetting to sign in, and so forth, you are allowed to miss three colloquia. Don't miss more than three!
There is a sign-in sheet at every colloquium. Do not forget to sign it, otherwise we won't know that you attended. Do not sign for other people—doing so would violate the honor code.
When we have external speakers, there will be an after-colloquium dinner, to which students are invited on a first-come, first-served basis.
