DESCRIPTION:This workshop aims to provide tools to improve presentation s
 kills in academic settings. The combination of lecture and group activit
 ies will enables the participants on the one hand need to identify short
 comings in their own presentation skills and on the other hand to improv
 e their performance for future academic conferences and presentations.\n
 \nWe will cover topics such as material preparation\, how to find a good
  introduction and conclusion for presentations\, a better use of visuals
 \, body language and how to prepare for Q&A.\n\nThe first half of the co
 urse consists of an interactive lecture capturing important aspects of t
 he aforementioned topics. After a lunch break the participants will then
  engage in previously prepared mini-presentations and constructive feedb
 ack sessions. For this participants are asked to prepare a very short pr
 esentation (max. 3 min) on a topic of their choice\, aimed at a non-spec
 ialist audience.\n\nNo previous experience is required for participation
 . This workshop is presented by Tina Hannemann\, a Research Associate at
  the Cathie Marsh Institute for Social Research at the University of Man
 chester.\n\nIn the past the workshop has been very popular and was well 
 received. Prior booking is therefore necessary via the methods@mancheste
 r website or directly via Eventbrite at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a
