LOOM.04.068: Public Speaking in Science
Instructor Dr. George A. Lozano |
|
Course Description
To examine the principles of public speaking in science, to put these principles to practice in a relaxed atmosphere of peers, to received feedback and to improve our ability to speak in public. Two particular formats will be emphasized: the conference presentation and the class lecture. Topics covered shall include: defining your audience, handling nerves, use of technology, room arrangement, eye contact, preparation, body language, use of the podium, “hums and ahs”, graph presentation, tables, figures, statistics, introducing a speaker, dealing with questions, etc, etc, etc. This is a course about speaking, so unlike most classes, the instructor will not be the one doing most of the talking. The course will start with an initial set of lectures, for a week or two. Afterwards, or interspersed with the lectures, students will be expected to give at least two oral presentations, in English, one on some aspect of their thesis work and another on something not related to their thesis work.
