BIOL 795 Graduate Seminar I
This course provides students with essential communication tools, showing how to identify the details needed for a presentation depending on the audience, using the appropriate language and visual aids to develop skills for public presentations. The course is focused on seminar presentations, although other formats of communications such as social media will also be introduced. By attending and critically analyzing seminars given by faculty, visiting scholars and fellow graduate students, students will develop the ability to recognise effective scientific communication. Through practicing preparing and delivering presentations and receiving feedback on their performance, students will develop the ability to deliver high quality presentations describing their research topics and related areas.
