In spring the goal is to acquire basic presentations skills, including how to organize a presentation, supporting arguments with evidence, effective use of visual aids, and aspects of delivery such as eye contact or gesture.  Students base their presentations on the basic patterns taught and learn to speak from notes.  More skilled students make longer persuasive presentations as the term progresses.  The class is conducted in English.    Grading Digital Assignments • A one-minute self-introduction uploaded to the private blo

Dear students, Today you will finish your 20-point final presentations. After that, if there is time, any student who missed a presentation because of sickness will be allowed to present in order to get a better score or to pass the course. Some students may need to present several times in order to pass the course, so please be prepared to present more than once if you were absent several times. For example, if your score is 45 points, you will probably have to present three times in order to pass the course. Please be prepared to do so. Kind regards, Chris Elvin
