Writing and Presentations One-on-One

Graduate / Professional

This is a unique class for Ph.D. students and postdocs. All meetings are conducted as one-on-one individual conferences. There are no assignments; participants work solely on their writing-in-progress and current presentation projects. Our goal is to produce excellent texts and presentations that meet specific deadlines. For writing, we look at content, rhetorical positioning and audience, organizational logic, knowledge claims, style, tone, sentence-level language, grammar, transitions, readability, clarity, and rigor. For presentations, we look at the presentation story, positioning and organization, fit and balance of the content into the allotted time, visuals, delivery, pronunciation, responding to questions, and personal style. 0 Course cr HTBA
