Questions

• A really important part of a talk is the conversation, which often has a lot to do with questions.
• Will you take questions during the talk, or will you take them at the end? (During increases interaction.)
• A good thing to do in large audiences is to repeat the question.
• At the end of my answer, I often ask if I've answered the question.
• Some times people get agressive with questions. A good thing to say is "I'll look into that".
• Remember it's your talk, so you can move on from questions with something like "I'll talk with you after the talk".
• It's nice to keep the slides up so you can go back to answer with the picture.
• If you don't know the answer, say you don't know.
• In less formal talks, a lot of the "talk" can be questions and responses.
• You can ask the audience questions.
