Each research presentation should be done in PowerPoint or an equivalent and should be approximately 30-40 minutes long. For your presentation you should plan to:
Note that you should NOT simply replicate the material as presented in the paper. Remember that you are trying to help people understand the material.
Also note that you should try to make the presentation interesting and informative. Make extensive use of pictures and graphs (though you should NEVER simply cut pdf out of the paper and present it - redraw or redo a formula if you want to use it). Make sure to use examples to illustrate points.
