Presentations

While presentations are most often attributed to the lecturer presenting content to the students, student presentations whether as individuals or in groups, afford the students a chance to develop skills in oral communication, peer-teaching, and listening among others. The more practice a student has speaking to and working within groups, the more comfortable the individual will feel when delivering a presentation to professional colleagues, patients, and other audiences.
