課程概述

This course is designed for graduate students who seek training and/or improvement in their English-language presentation skills for academic purposes. The focus is on oral presentations for conferences and professional events, but the course content will be applicable to all forms of presentation. 

課程目標
 This course aims to empower students to become competent and confident presenters. With the aid of interactive recording and networking media, not only can the peer audience provide timely and reviewable advice, but the presenters themselves have an opportunity to become their most effective critics. Students will be able to spot, mark, and envision their progress toward the fulfillment of that aim.

By the end of the course, students should be able to:

1. Know how to conceive and design an academic presentation for general and expert audiences based on their own research

2. Identify and select effective features of academic and other kinds of presentation, and apply them to their presentations

3. Present more confidently and persuasively in English by choosing appropriate presentation structures and techniques

4. Know how to analyze and manage their audience to ensure maximum value of their presentation content. 
課程要求
 ‧ Class attendance and participation is required. If you are absent for more than 3 classes in a semester, each additional absence will result in a 1/3rd letter grade reduction (Example: B+ to B)

‧ Lectures are presented in English. All student work will be submitted in English. In class discussions should be conducted for the most part in English

‧ This course is not open to undergraduates or auditors

‧ Late work is not accepted 
預期每週課後學習時數
 Presentation and public speaking skills are skills. How you improve upon a skill is through a constant cycle of learning, doing, feedback, and reflection. You could read an entire textbook on presentation skills, however that would not make you a good presenter.

The workload in this course is cyclical. We go through different phases as we prepare for each presentation. During the initial phases of learning, work will be light. When you move into preparing and refining your presentations, the workload will be more. However, during this time, you are getting feedback not only from the instructor but also from your classmates, so you're not alone. And finally, the process of getting ready to deliver your presentation might be the most time consuming of all.

However, while preparing for a presentation might be time consuming and challenging, because it's a skill, the more you do it the better you become and the easier it gets.

So in summary, typically there are not many assignments for this course, however the process of designing, preparing, and practicing a presentation will be time consuming, especially at first.
