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.

Objectives and competences
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.
Intended learning outcomes
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.
Learning and teaching methods
The lecturer presents general and specific methods of written and oral communication of mathematical topics.
Each students, with the help of the lecturer, chooses an appropriate mathematical topic and present it in front of the classroom. The student also prepares a short mathematical article on the chosen topic. The emphasis is on the public presentation and the quality of the produced documents.
Assessment
documents (presentation slides paper, poster)
public presentation
Grading: 5 (fail), 6-10 (pass) (according to the Statute of UL)
