Long Speech

Deliver a two-to-three minute speech on a technical or scientific topic. Your classmates are the intended audience for this speech.

You can use notes, though many students in past terms chose not to. I will provide a makeshift rostrum, but don't feel obligated to use it; move around the room if you like.

You must rely only on the power of your voice and your body language. You cannot do the following:

  • Write on the board.
  • Distribute hand-outs.
  • Use models.
  • Display overheads.
This speech is all about you, you, you.

This is a casual party; don't bother getting dressed up.


    NOTE: I cannot offer a makeup time for this speech.
