What are we looking for?
Below is a presentation guidance protocol that should be very useful in helping you finish your first project. It will cover both the scientific content and the use of English. Don't Panic, it designed to help NOT to test!

Please remember – you need to arrive at the academy with a completed presentation that is ready to go. You will be presenting on Day 1!

Oh, before I forget, due to an old cricket, rugby, cycling and physics injury, I always seem lose ability to read and write all German during the first 2 stages of our Academy. Please help me out by taking this opportunity to write only in English on the forum and to speak and listen in English during the course sessions! I do believe Mel may also similarly afflicted!

We’re really looking forward to meeting you all and can guarantee that – if you arrive with an open mind and willingness to join in - you will have the most wonderful time and make life-long friends.

If you have any questions about the course please use the forum we will answer ASAP.

The Presentation Criteria and Guideline... this is what we will be looking to observe:
