Please note that SCOM6015 is offered in-person (on campus) only. This is a practical course which aims to develop public speaking skills. The emphasis is on presenting science live to a general audience. Students learn to adapt presentation skills for different audiences, different aims, diverse scientific content and various time limits. As the course is focused on public speaking skills, live in-person attendance during scheduled class time is very much recommended. This course is co-taught with undergraduate students but assessed separately.
