Övrig information The course is given in different formats (in-class/online/daytime/evenings) with all lectures live in real-time and according to schedule (no pre-recorded lectures). This course occasion takes place online, evenings.
The scope of the course is research presentations in different contexts and formats. You will practice presenting your own research results (or anything of your choice) as well as other topics to approach presentation skills from different angles. This is a highly interactive course with a multitude of exercises aiming at taking your presentations to the next level while identifying your individual strengths. 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 other challenges you might be facing when presenting. The teachers focus on creating a safe environment, where the students can practice and try new presentation approaches and techniques.
