All of the "English Presentation Seminar" courses are designed to provide students with the tools to deliver effective presentations with confidence. As these are practice-oriented courses, students will deliver multiple presentations throughout the term. Furthermore, students will sharpen their listening skills by learning how to ask good questions and become active listeners.
As a 200-level elective course, English Presentation Seminar 7 offers more challenging contents than the 100-level courses. It equips students with the foundational skills to deliver well-informed individual presentations.
By the end of this course, students will be able to deliver an individual presentation while engaging the audience followed by a question and answer session.
