Online-Seminar: Academic Presentation Skills
Course Description:
This presentation skills workshop is conducted completely online. The benefit of this course is the high level of individual feedback, which is not always possible in a larger, face to face workshop.
Structure
- The workshop begins with a trainer - led session via Zoom, or platform of your choice, for 3 hours (from 9:30 to 12:30). Participants can enter the virtual classroom up to 15 minutes before the start of the class.
- Following the training session, participants will be asked to make a short video of themselves giving a talk (for a maximum time of 5 minutes). The trainer will outline the task in more detail during the workshop.
- The trainer will watch the videos and set up individual appointments with the participants to give them feedback.
