This is both a human communication and public speaking text for the general education course.

Learners will be exposed to a variety of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) whereby they will develop and build awareness of viable resources they can draw upon currently and, in the future, to help achieve their goals. This lesson will help prepare learners to identify a nonprofit organization’s mission statement and learner’s will employ critical thinking skills to connect that mission statement to one of the nonprofit’s past/current/future projects. Learners will orally present their findings to their peers. This lesson will apply the universal intellectual standard of relevance as learners will write a reflective analysis of their own research experience and explain which NGO/IGO is most relevant to their lives. The lesson activities can be adapted to different classrooms depending on available technologies.

This handout introduces you to four principles for visual design: contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity.

Scientific posters are a tool for communicating your researchand explaining why it matters to a particular audience. What makes a scientific poster effective relies on your audience, discipline, and professional context. You’ll want to consider who is viewing your poster.

This handout will help you decide the best way to visually represent your data.

This worksheet is designed to help you articulate how you “see” — that is, how you identify, describe, analyze, or otherwise work with visible material — and what you expect students to do with visible materials in your courses. It guides you from the broad context of your discipline to the particular context of a specific course, and invites you to see the connections, and possible gaps, across those contexts.

This course is a core requirement for the Masters in Engineering program, designed to teach students about the roles of today’s professional engineer and expose them to team-building skills through lectures, team workshops, and seminars. Topics include: written and oral communication, job placement skills, trends in the engineering and construction industry, risk analysis and risk management, managing public information, proposal preparation, project evaluation, project management, liability, professional ethics, and negotiation. The course draws on relevant large-scale projects to illustrate each component of the subject.

Once you have a draft of your oral presentation, this peer review worksheet can help you self-assess or get feedback.

This course focuses on developing oral presentation skills through practice, self-evaluation, and in-class feedback. Topics include slide preparation, answering difficult questions, explaining technical details and presenting to a general audience.

This is an advanced course that aims to build vocabulary competence and improve oral communication through the study and discussion of topics related to cultural aspects in Lusophone societies, primarily from current issues in Brazil. It is designed to give students extensive experience in Portuguese and emphasizes skill development and refinement in the area of critical reading and writing in Portuguese.

  This oral communication content includes several types of common college-level presentations including an informative speech, visual aid presentation, and Monroe's Motivated Sequence persuasive speech. All of the presentations are for critique and compatible with rubrics that examine basic elements of public speaking. All presentations in this series were delivered by student volunteers as part of a technology fellowship project at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Please note that student presenter first names were included as a way to promote classroom climate and respect when critiquing. It is found that students are more likely to critique in a respectful manner when the example speech presenter is named. 

This worksheet will help you self-assess a draft of your scientific poster or gather feedback from a peer.

This course is a seminar in topology. The main mathematical goal is to learn about the fundamental group, homology and cohomology. The main non-mathematical goal is to obtain experience giving math talks.

This course is a student-presented seminar in combinatorics, graph theory, and discrete mathematics in general.
