Procedure for the course when limited activity on campus

This course will be held in rotation mode. The first, informational session might be either held online or in rotation mode (details will be emailed closer to that date). The other sessions will be held on campus, but in a rotation system. This means that the attendance time of the course will be divided between student groups so that the lecturer holds all units, but changing student groups are present in the classroom.

Should the situation warrant further contact restrictions, this will be communicated in a timely manner, as will any resulting changes to the syllabi, grading criteria, or presentation modi.

Contents

Presenting selected business topics over the course of three presentations: one short (8-12 minutes) prepared presentation, one longer (15-20 minutes) prepared presentation, as well as one shorter (8-12 minutes) unprepared presentation.

Each of the two prepared topics can be chosen by the student with the approval of the instructor. The final ad-hoc presentation will be on a given business topic on the basis of a background article provided by the instructor and a total preparation time of 75 minutes.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, students will be able to give clearly structured presentations in English, having improved, reinforced and refined their communicative skills to be applied in presentations and discussions.
