More information Please note that this course is given in different formats (in-class/on-line) and see each course occasion for details.
The course focuses on research presentations in different contexts. You will practice presenting your own research results (or something else of your choice from your research area) as well as other topics in order to approach presentation skills from different angles. This is highly interactive course with a multitude of exercises and together we will take your presentations to the next level. The focus is on developing each student’s authentic and personal style of presenting, rather than applying a “one-size-fits-all” template. Furthermore, we will deal with nervousness and a variety of other challenges you might be facing when presenting. The teachers focus on the individual students and to create an environment, where the students feel safe to practice and try new presentation approaches.
This course occasion will be given in-class (in a venue in central Stockholm) and on-line (please state your preference in the comments field).
