Communicating mathematics

Students will learn to prepare short seminar presentations. They will gain the experience how to present it and prepare the corresponding documents. They will learn about the structure and basic components of a presentation. They will also learn and acquire the skills to use the presentation making tools.
The seminar leader will prepare a collection of topics and supporting materials from which each student will select his/her seminar topic. The topics will consider the knowledge of students.

Students acquire knowledge about the structure and basic components of presentations. They will learn how to prepare and present them and, using appropriate tools, how to produce the corresponding documents.

Knowledge and understanding: Students learn to prepare, present and document a short presentation on selected topic.
Application: The acquired skills will be useful during the study and later in his/her professional activities.
Reflection: Connecting the acquired skills with the professional knowledge.
Transferable skills: The acquired skills can be useful in all other courses that require from students reporting about their activities.

At the beginning the seminar leader gives some introductory lectures. Students select their seminar topics. Each student prepares a public presentation on his/her topic and the corresponding documents. The emphasis is on the public presentation and the quality of the produced documents.

Documents (presentation slides, report/paper, poster, web page)
Public presentation
grading: 5 (fail), 6-10 (pass) (according to the Statute of UL)
