PRESENTATIONS

As we've discussed, it is the last part of the course we will also work on our class presentations. The basic idea is to give people a chance to get up in front of the group and practice their English. Of course you can be nervous if you'd like.

Here's a nice general introduction to some of the most important ideas related to making presentations. It's from McMaster University in Canada.

Now that you've got some information about how to use PowerPoint, here are some "special tips".

When you've finished, please take a look at "presentation skills self-evaluation". It's from the English Centre at the University of Hong Kong.

• CHROMOSOME STRUCTURE - DNA, GENES, ETC. - MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION
  The American company APPLERA-CELERA
  
  had a very informative presentation about DNA, genes, and the genome on its website.
  
  I've adopted / adapted it for use in our class. This is a TEST; I have not obtained permission from Celera to use it :-(
  
  The page I've made is set up so you can:
  (1) listen to the text
  (2) read it at the same time
  (3) click on words you don't know (maybe. I haven't got this to work perfectly yet. After you read the explanation, you have to click your browser's  "Back" button to get back to where you were. Sorry))
  (4) and then do some exercises to see if you've understood the information.
  
  Please read all the instructions on the next page before starting.
