The student works through the material and thinks about how to present it. In a training session the student will get advice on the mathematics and on the presentation. Then a test presentation to other students may follow. After the official presentation (about 40 minutes) the student works out a written version (incorporating suggestions by the convenor). Both the presentation and the written piece can be rejected once by the convenor, if there are serious flaws. The second version then will be marked.
The other students will attend the presentation and the speaker should try to inform and to inspire them.
Pursue a course of self-study with guidance from a member of staff.
Receive instruction on making a formal oral presentation.
Give an oral and visual presentation to a group of peers and staff.
Write a clear presentation of a mathematical topic at intermediate university level.
Independent study, written and oral communication and presentation skills.
50% for 40 minute presentation;
50% for written essay.
