Hello everyone and happy week 5! If you have any midterms this week we wish you the best of luck!

This week we went over some tips for how to become a better presenter whether it be for research presentations or classroom presentations. When it comes to presenting, confidence is always key but there are other factors that are important when it comes to presentations such as where you are standing, and the content you are presenting.
