What will I study?
This module focuses on making presentations. To do this an understanding of the entire communication chain is required (eg. handouts, questions, follow-up meetings etc.) It works off the assumption that you already have the skills necessary to make a presentation – your conversational skills. The challenge is to set out your material in an audience-friendly so that you can deliver it with the same style, and as easily, as if you were talking to a friend.
How will I study? (delivery methods e.g., online videos, live lectures, tutorials etc)
The module will include:
• Extensive set of videos demonstrating best practice and conversational techniques.
• Themed podcasts edited from interviews with people who present as part of their jobs.
• Small-group work for preparing for each presentation task.
• Discussion boards and several scheduled live group/class discussions.
• 2 sessions, on UCD campus, during the term to deliver group presentations.
• Online feedback sessions on presentations.
Expected Commitment
Students are not required to attend lectures on the UCD campus. However they are expected to view all of the 14 online lessons (in place of lectures) that have been posted.
Also, to deliver each of the presentation tasks, students are required to attend 2 separate sessions during the term to make group presentations and receive feedback. These dates are not fixed and there may be more than one date for each deliverable (different groups present on different days) to facilitate participants’ varied commitments.
Finally there will be a 1-hour in-term theory exam at 1-2pm on the Saturday of week 9 or 10 (TBC) at UCD, Belfield. This isl worth 20% of the total marks.
