Speaker Training Course
This is a small group "hands on" speaking course taught by faculty in our department. We help participants with lecture organization, delivery and preparation. A major emphasis is on developing a clear message. The course is offered several times a year. Commitment of 100% attendance and Section Leader pre-approval are required.
- Session 1 includes an introductory didactic presentation followed by a discussion of the material presented there and in the three "How I Do It" lectures.
- Session 2 is dedicated to the development of each participant’s message.
- During Session 3, each participant presents a 20 minute talk, which is followed by group discussion and feedback - what was done really well and how the talk can be improved. Each participant is provided a video of their talk and the group discussion. All are expected to review their own video prior to Session 4.
- In Session 4, all participants repeat their (now improved) talk, followed by another group discussion. This also is recorded for individual review.
The Speaker Training Course has been given in this department for more than 15 years. It has received high marks from past participants. The format is well-tested and has proven to be effective and efficient.
