Comp496/901: Academic Presentation and Writing Skills


This is my local, non-WebCT page for Comp496/901, Academic Presentation and Writing Skills.

Schedule

Classes are held once a week. Each week's session is typically 2.5 hours in duration. Dates and topics for the semester are provided here. Slides from classes are made available via links on the schedule page after the classes have taken place.

Assessment

The purpose of this unit is to ensure that you achieve a basic level of competency in both writing about your research, and in giving presentations. These are skills that require practice, so the way assessment works in this unit is different to that in other units. See here for detailed information.
