This course is about consolidating the techniques of academic presentations. The course takes place in the spring, meeting once a week and face to face. The two main components of the course are speaking and discussion.
Topics for presentations mirror critical issues that are ongoing either in the wider society or in the field of academia. Discussions that follow these presentations are an important part of the course. They do play a role in the overall grading as they are meant to strengthen students' ability to communicate objectively and to maximize interaction with fellow learners.
