NEUS 619 Effective Scientific Presentations


Credits: 1.5
Scientists need to speak with confidence and impact to convey the significance of their findings. We need to do this with our peers as well as non-scientific audiences. Doing this effectively is challenging and requires deep reflection on what the main message is and the audience that it is being conveyed to. This course will focus on ways to help participants make effective slides and posters, develop verbal and non-verbal presentation skills and handle questions from the audience.

Graded: Pass/No pass
May be taken only once for credit
