A unique feature of my seminars is the significant amount of seminar
time spent performing demonstrations on live circuits. Because of this,
I use an unusual
room setup. As shown in the two pictures below from Oxford University,
I place three tables at the
front of the room to perform the demonstrations on and hold the
oscilloscope, computer, and video projector. Some of the demonstrations
use
cables that stretch up to four meters along the table. A table to the
side (on the left in the pictures below) holds
the seminar equipment not in current use. I perform the demonstrations
facing the attendees with the scope screen and/or computer screen
projected onto the wall behind. Color slides of the demonstration setup
are used so
people can see the fine details of the setup. The room arrangement
should allow everyone a clear view of the demonstration table. If you
are considering having
a private seminar at your company, this is the preferred room setup.
