In this workshop, students whose jobs or studies require them to present professional papers and lead or participate in academic discussions explore topics in a wide variety of fields and analyze their own performance as well as that of their classmates while they work at developing professional aplomb and mastering the linguistic and performance skills that inform effective presentations. Students read professional and contemporary literature, view academic lectures, critique and discuss examples of professional communication, and present their own formal talks, debates, and town meetings that are videotaped and subjected to careful peer and instructor review.
