[QUOTE="creations306, post: 2949574, member: 91581"] Ditto what others have said. Conference prep tends to bring out the worst in academic. Especially young ones who expect that they need to present something groundbreaking. Set your sites lower -- the trick is to say one sorta intellegent thing and not make an ass out of yourself in the process. The rule of thumb is you want to have a done presentation/thesis/dissertation, not necessarily a good one. The coin of the realm is a good idea. That's all you need for a presentation and it sounds like you have one already. - Matt [/QUOTE]
