Members don't see this ad.

so i finally presented my senior thesis today on parvo in front of an "interdisciplinary audience" and got publically called out afterward by one of the faculty in the audience for reading my slides 🙁 how the heck does anybody not when it's all stats????? anyway i guess for any of you who still have to do this be careful. i think i bored them all to tears.

just glad it's over with. two weeks left.

Man if every one of my professors got called out for reading off slides their would be nobody to teach. I dont get it! If you made the slides, you did all the work, who cares if ya used them!

What a jerk. Funny, I literally just finished attending an awards ceremony at a scientific conference (where I presented basically the best presentation of my life over my research) and they gave the top prize to a girl who did nothing but read off her slides and a sheet of paper. Go figure.

Don't worry about it. I was almost in tears when I finished my orals, apparently they want to make sure you still feel smaller and less important than they are.

I passed 1st time through but it definitely was stressful. 100 x more stressful than a vet interview (at least I felt that way)

Damn. Sorry to hear that. I won an award for my oral presentation on OraVet and how badly is sucks.

Just tell yourself, if it applies to your situation, "I'm never going to see these people again anyway!"

That's what I keep telling myself for my senior presentation. I'm still going to try to do my best job, but it's an easier mental thought to have than imagining them all in their underwear.

Look at it this way: your research was so awesome that he/she had nothing to crizicize and decided instead to criticize some minor aspect of your presentation.

I'm sure that's what it was😛

I should have tried the underwear thing...
Anyway a few good hours watching movies over the weekend cured my thesis dumps and I'm ready to take on the final dregs of the year! Thanks for y'all's support

Good luck Capella!

haha, awesome. i hate oravet. our clinic recently discovered it (just in time for dental special month!) and we would curse the vets everytime they made us use it. we all agreed that there's absolutely nothing you can do to get the original application to stay on, that candlewax would work better than that crap, and that it's a total scam. i would have given you an award for your presentation, too!
