At the first tutorial, there will be a sign-up sheet for presentations. Every week at least one student will give a presentation. Each presentation will concern a topic covered in class the week before. As far as possible, if two students present on the same day, please try to choose different topics.

Each tutorial should be 15 minutes long. Presentations will be cut off at 20 minutes. After the presentation, there will be a 5 - 10 minute question and answer period.

If there is a second student presentation on a given day, it will then commnece, otherwise, Vipul will lead a class discussion.

How To Give a Good Presentation


Come prepared!!!!

Don't simply repeat what I have said in the lectures; give your own opinions. Do some independant research (but don't go nuts - remember, this is just a 15 minute presentation). Perhaps you can browse the web.

TAKE A STANCE!!! Give YOUR opinion. Don't simply summerize.

Always make eye contact with the audience.
