To be successful in an academic environment, you need to have good presentation and discussion skills. The course offers you the opportunity to develop these skills by reading up on an academic topic (chosen from a list), devising and giving a 25-minute talk on it and fielding a question and answer-session. Constructive feedback will be provided through the subsequent discussion in class. Equally important are good writing skills. Various micro-tasks provided in class will help you to improve your academic writing.
