Welcome to the autumn semester

Dear students, Welcome back to digital presentation. This semester you will have more control of the topics for presentation and how they are assessed. There will be five groups and within your group you should choose a topic and the criteria for assessment (for example; content, critical thinking, delivery, eye contact, English expressions, fluency, grammar, professionalism, pronunciation, visuals, etc). When it is your turn, please tell your classmates and the teacher your proposal. A presentation should be a minimum of three minutes per person.
