  • Week 1: Audience and purpose


    The aim of this week is  first to orient our minds towards presentation skills in general as well as presenting in English. Assignments 1-3 aim to activate your previous knowledge and experiences of presentation skills as well as invite you to explore and analyze technical/scientific presentations online and read more about presentations skills in general. You will also reflect on your own personal learning goals for this course.

    In addition, you will learn more about presentation planning, starting with audience and purpose, and share about your own experiences of having seen various presentations. You will start by considering how audience affects all your choices in a presentation: purpose, contents (level and order), visuals. Finally, you will start planning the presentation by indentifying your audience, and deciding about purpose and topic for your own presentation on this course.

    This week consists of five assignments, which you can complete at your own pace by the given deadline (Mon, Sep 14, 23:55).

    Please note that 'Assignment 2" requires posting in the Forum and responding to someone else's post. Thus, it has two deadlines: Deadline for the first post is at noon on Fri, Sep 11 and the deadline for the second post is at 23:55 on Mon, Sep 14.

    You should also check Assignments 1 and 4 later on to see what other students have posted there. You can always learn so much from other points of view.
