Become a Stronger Science and Engineering Communicator
This course isn’t an endless slide presentation from a droning professor. Classes have a strong focus on interactive elements in a supportive, team environment.
I know many will be coming from a long day at work, so my focus is on making this an enjoyable and relaxing experience.
“See Then Do”
The classes are focused on engagement, so come prepared to listen a little then practice a little. By the end of each class you should have a balance of understanding and practical skills on the topic.
Small Group Activities
We’ll break out into smaller groups of two or three so you can get a chance to brainstorm and talk in a manageable group.
Share and Learn
Sharing gives everyone a chance to see how others approach the work. It also gives us practice in giving and getting feedback in a supportive environment.
