Mini-Course “Public
Speaking for Physicists” for
First Year Graduate Students, U of T Physics, Fall 2007 |
|
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.
