Course content
Lectures are divided into theoretical and practical blocks: 1. In the first block, we will focus on planning and preparing a presentation, the culture of expression, stress management before and during lectures and the issue of effective teamwork. 2. In the second block, students will learn to work with presentation software with an emphasis on MS PowerPoint (what features should an engaging presentation have, the question of design, the use of animations, etc.). 3. In the third block, students learn about other formats for creating presentations (Prezi, Google Presentation, PDF presentation) 4. In the last theoretical block, the lessons will focus on working with posters from their creation in MS Publisher to a limited time presentation. Subsequent blocks will be practical. Students present their own presentation / posters, which is a prerequisite for credit.
