Lectures


Englisch fur Biowissenschaftler/English presentation skills: Seminars in chemical biology

The main purpose of this course is to improve on giving scientific presentations in English. In the first four lectures, you will learn how to use verbal and non-verbal communication, how to deal with tension, how to design slides and graphics, and how to structure a presentation. In the remaining part of the course, you will practice these new skills. Besides the training in giving a presentation, you will get an overview of the field of chemical biology, which will be the topic of all practice-lectures.

This summer semester course starts on April 25, 2012. This semester, the course takes place on WEDNESDAYS from 3-5 pm at U/1.04 at building ZIEL II, Weihenstephaner Berg 3, Freising. Please note that there is a minimum amount of 8 and a maximum of 12 students. Registration at TUMonline, course-number: 240982476
