  • LC-1112 Online Presentations Skills for Engineers, PII (V12-V13)

    The course materials (the weekly sections) will be opened to confirmed & invited course participants after invitations to join have been sent via email. 

    Instructor: Heli Dahlin heli.dahlin@aalto.fi
    Aalto University Language Centre, Otakaari 1.

    This course is mainly based on working independently and online, with compulsory participation in three live sessions: the kick-off meeting, one of the rehearsal sessions and one of the final presentation sessions.

    DUE TO THE CORONA VIRUS: We will plan the format of the scheduled rehearsal and final presentation sessions during the kick-off meeting on Tue, Nov 2nd. We will review the situation and plan the sessions to be either live online via Zoom, live in a classroom on campus, OR a mix of these*. You will also complete the first introductory assignment on the course during this meeting. So, make sure that you can attend the kick-off meeting! 

    More information about the rehearsal and final presentation sessions is available in the weekly sections. If you are not yet familiar with Zoom, it is a good idea to practice using it already. The sign-up schedulers for the rehearsals and final presentations will be opened during the first week of the course (after the kick-off meeting). Heli will send an announcement when they are open.
