Objectives

The purpose of this assignment is to enable students to present their proposal to the tutor and class.

Background

Being able to present your research to an audience is a key skill for researchers to develop. There are a variety of different settings where you may be asked to do this, from the school or faculty research seminar to the international conference. Presentations sometimes take the form of posters as well as talks.

It is important that every presentation take account of whom the audience is$.$ A seminar delivered to an interdisciplinary audience which may have no specialist knowledge of your field will be very different to a conference presentation in front of learned specialists $-$ even if you are presenting essentially the same research at both venues.
