‧ The Basics of Presentational Success: Attitude & Connection

‧ Apply voice techniques to your presentations to enhance your communication and be more persuasive.

課程要求

1. Attendance on enrollment day is mandatory for this class. If you do not attend on the first day your place will be given away.

2. Lectures and materials are presented in English. You will need to have a confident level of English to successfully participate in this course.

3. Group discussions, however, can be conducted in any language. Although, if you want to improve or keep up with your English speaking, it's highly recommended that you speak in English in your groups.

4. This course is specifically designed to students who have not yet begun a research project, such as undergraduates. This course especially welcomes undergraduates from any discipline. Graduate students who possess a low level of English will be considered for this course. No auditors allowed.

5. Attendance is required and will be taken on most days. Being absent four times or more in a single term may cause one to fail this course. After the 3rd absence, your grade will be reduced by 1 letter grade for each additional absence. (Example: B- -> C+)

6. Students are expected to arrive to class on time and to leave only after the end of class. Students who arrive late or leave early may have their final course grade reduced

7. Attendance will be taken approximately 10 minutes after class/tutorial begins. If you are late, speak to the TA for your attendance to be recorded. If you arrive 20 minutes after class/tutorial begins, you will be considered absent.

預期每週課後學習時數

Typically there will be few assignments outside of presentations. However, there will be some small assignments that students will be expected to complete and submit on time. These assignments are typically not time consuming and are designed to take 30 minutes at most.

What is more time consuming however are 3 major presentations for this course. Each presentation will require sufficient preparation and practice. For each of these presentations, student workload will increase quite a bit.
