Course description and aims
All of the "Academic Presentation" 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 an elective 300-level course, Academic Presentation 11 offers more challenging materials than the 200-level English Presentation Seminar courses. It equips students with the necessary skills to present ideas in a clear manner.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to deliver well-framed individual presentations followed by question and answer sessions, be aware of verbal and non-verbal messages while engaging the audience in their topics, and field questions from the audience.
