Specific entry requirements
Purpose of the course The course aims are to orally and visually present ones own research that has been adapted to different target groups and to reflect on ones own as well as ones peers presentation skills and abilities.
Intended learning outcomes After the course the student is expected to be able to:
1. Orally present own research adapted to different target groups.
2. Understand how visuals and media can support research and presentation to different target groups.
3. Be able to critique and reflect on presentation skills and the ability to adapt to different target groups.
Contents of the course During the course each participant will be given the opportunity to develop practical and theoretical knowledge in:
- Communication, perception and learning

Teaching and learning activities The course design is based on reflective practice and includes self-directed learning, lectures and literature seminar to process theoretical knowledge, and practical training in presentation skills. Each course participant will perform three oral presentations, one with an infographic, and receive feedback on content, presentation skills and adaptation towards target group.
Compulsory elements Compulsory sessions are:
1. Oral presentation in a popular science context (video recorded)
2. Oral presentation with infographic in a scientific context and observe and give feedback to an oral presentation and infographic made by a peer.
Absence from the compulsory sessions or assessment seminar can be compensated through supplementary activity.
Examination The assessment consists of two different tasks:
1. Reflective statement based in experience, feedback and research/literature within communication and learning.
2. Oral presentation in a popular scientific context supported by PowerPoint or similar.
3. A final scientific infographic in digital form revised based upon feedback from peers.

To pass the course the participant needs to show evidence that they reached the learning outcomes by fulfillment of the assessment criteria.
Literature and other teaching material Recommended readings for discussion will be shared during the course.
