LC-1120 - Online Persuasive Presentations for Engineers (o), Lecture, 22.4.2024-9.6.2024

This assignment requires some preparation beforehand, so please read carefully! There are a few steps to prepare before you'll carry them out with each other in our live Zoom meeting during this first week.

The assignment is split into three parts:

1. Preparing the speech,

2. Turning up to the live Zoom session to meet everyone and present it, and

3. Listening during the session carefully to each other and identifying then sharing afterwards traits/ characteristics you admire and would like to learn to emulate. 

Part 1 has several steps:

You'll prepare to introduce yourself in a short 1-2 minute speech. This speech must include the following information with a twist:         

1. Your name,
2. Your school and field of study, e.g. Landscape architecture, Automation systems, etc.,          
   
3. Number of years you've been studying,           
   
4. Your evaluation of yourself as a persuasive speaker. But! The twist is this, do not only evaluate yourself as you currently are, but mention one or two aspects you would like to possess in the near or distant future :). Consider mentioning a role model (actual person alive or deceased) that you aspire to be like if that would help you list the characteristics you value in a persuasive speaker. Practise your little speech at least a couple of times before we meet in Zoom.
