This course is about techniques for preparing and making academic presentations. Students are introduced to practical strategies that help strengthen their ability to communicate in a convincing manner. The course is taught in English. Its language components are speaking, listening and open discussion.
The course uses a step-by-step method that goes from simple and short speeches to the ones that are more technically and academically advanced. Discussions that follow presentations are an important part of the course; and they play a role in the overall grading.
The course will use a hybrid system of both face-to-face and online sessions. For sessions on campus, students are encouraged to take measures for preventing the spread of Covid-19. The sessions will still be streamed through Zoom for those outside of the campus. For online sessions, students who happen to be on campus can use the appointed classroom for attending the class.
