Effective Presentations in Science Settings
PHSL 896 (IGPBS module 6)
This seminar is intended to help participants become practiced in developing strategies for formulating and delivering oral presentations. Participants may select any topic for their presentation other than research with which they have been involved in the past or at present. The idea is to develop a new presentation from scratch, rather than polish an existing presentation.
Presentations should be no more than 15 minutes long, including a 3 - 5 minute question period.
The following list illustrates the range of topics covered by past seminar participants.
