In spring the goal is to acquire basic presentations skills, including how to organize a presentation, supporting arguments with evidence, effective use of visual aids, and aspects of delivery such as eye contact or gesture.  Students base their presentations on the basic patterns taught and learn to speak from notes.  More skilled students make longer persuasive presentations as the term progresses.  The class is conducted in English.    Grading Digital Assignments • A one-minute self-introduction uploaded to t
