Presentation & Writing Skills
Research Communication Training Program (RCTP) RCTP trains graduate students and post docs in the STEM fields to convey the results of their research clearly and concisely to a broad variety of audiences, from expert to general. The program focuses on three important and basic components of communication: building confidence in all communication roles, enhancing the clarity of the message, and forming a connection with any audience.
It's offered during winter quarter and also summer quarter and is a course designed to improve presentation skills with a particular focus on presenting research to non-technical audiences. It's a 10-week program that's one 2-hour class per week.
Writing Place The Graduate School and the Graduate Writing Place offer a series of 90-minute graduate writing workshops throughout the academic year.
