DISCUSSION & PRESENTATION 1*

概要

This highly participatory course is designed to assist students in the further development of meaningful critical thinking, discussion/presentation, and teamwork skills in an academic/professional environment. This course will build social learning and practical skills related to organising and presenting in an authentic academic context. Specifically, students will form teams responsible for the planning and executing of a speaking project at the end of the course. Assessment will be based on scaffolded tasks such as written and video pieces that demonstrate integrative, critical, and reflective thinking. Participation in class and team activities will also form part of the final grade.
