S1. Ep.7 - Defence Preparation and Public Speaking

Clay goes it alone this week, and shares ideas on how writing principles can make you a more confident and more engaging public speaker. Clay used to provide Defence Preparation workshops at NMBU each semester for Master students. The timing seemed right to share ideas, information and techniques for thesis defence.To learn more about thesis defence, NMBU students and employees are encouraged to use the Scientific Writing Resource Portal (SWR100) in Canvas, and look through Module 6. Thesis Defence and Publication.To learn more about rhetoric and hooks in public speaking, we encourage you to visit the following sites that analyze TedTalks:https://blog.slideshare.net/2014/07/30/set-your-hook-to-capture-your-audiencehttps://visme.co/blog/how-to-start-a-presentation/
