Microteaching
Mini-Course “Public Speaking for
Physicists” for First Year Graduate Students, U of T Physics, Fall 2010 |
|
Welcome! The goals of
this mini-course are to practice
talking up in front of a small group, and discuss the challenges and
joys of
public speaking. We believe that oral presentation skills are
important
to your future. These skills do not come
naturally, but can be practiced and learned.
On Sep. 9, there was a terrific 2 hour
presentation by Libby Harper-Clarke from the Teaching Assistants
Training Program at Robarts. Here are The Slides for the
TAPT Talk.
