How to Explain Complex Research Findings in Simple Terms
One of the most important skills during your dissertation defense is the ability to explain complex findings in an understandable way. Here’s how to simplify your research:
-
Avoid Jargon: Use simple language and avoid technical jargon unless necessary. Define complex terms when you use them.
-
Use Analogies: Analogies can make abstract concepts more relatable. For example, if discussing a statistical model, relate it to everyday experiences.
-
Visuals: Present complex data through graphs or charts. Visuals help break down data and make it easier to grasp.
-
Tell a Story: Frame your findings in a narrative. Explain the problem, your approach, and the results as if you’re telling a story.
