This course will engage students in preparing and practicing their own short scientific talk based on their work. The emphasis will be on the strategies for delivery of clear, impactful language and use of visual aids to enhance the audience experience. We will critique and assess each other as well as departmental seminar speakers in order to discuss the wide array of successful speaking styles and devices. The goal is for each student to develop their own style and delivery of an engaging scientific presentation.
Open to undergraduates who are participating in research with permission of instructor.
Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
