Public Speaking 1500-SDN-WP-WP
During the classes students will practice delivering a conference presentation in English. We will discuss examples of good and bad presentations, various aims of the papers, and the role of the audience; we will focus on the preparatory stage, including the structure, vocabulary, and visuals; but the most important part are students’ presentations followed by the Q and A session.
