Academic and Technical Presentations for International Students

(2 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course assists international graduate students in improving their academic and technical presentations. The course incorporates presentation assignments with opportunities for individualized feedback. It examines both performance issues (such as audience, delivery, visual aids, audience interaction, non-verbal behavior, and Q&A) and academic issues (such as introductions, descriptions, explaining procedures, persuasion, and defining concepts). Students also learn how to effectively prepare for three-minute thesis (3MT) presentations.
