Presentation Skills and Group Work
We’re pleased to be able to bring to you an online video called “A Double Take on Presentation Skills”, made by a lecturer and her students at Oxford Brookes University. It shows how (and how not) to develop team work and presentation ability in an economics course. Students can pick up some tips, not just about speaking to an audience but also about studying in a university; how you have to know what you’re talking about, but on the other hand you’re encouraged to interpret the ideas your own way, rather than just repeat what’s in the books.
Kudos to Judith Piggott and her students for their bravery in showing how cringe-inducing it is when things can go wrong.
