Welcome to Presentation Skills

The purpose of this site is to offer support, advice, suggestions, and a forum for sharing knowledge about the final stage of Senior Projects and Senior Applied Research Projects. The course will emphasize presentation design and technique.

For the time being please use the links on the right as a starting point to explore issues and advice related to presenting, writing, or just inspiration.

There is one required text for the course: Presentation Zen, by Garr Reynolds, which is available through the Sterling College webstore.
