Marita, The requirement to prepare and give presentations is something that applies to all majors and career preparation programs. Thanks for reminding us. When students are required to talk about their work it provides great presentation and public speaking skills and confidence building opportunities. It is easy to start by talking about oneself. And isn't that what is required during a job interview? So you are giving students a chance to express themselves creatively, improve their craft, and gain interview skills! Seems like you are also improving the listening skills of the rest of the class. Great ideas to apply to all schools. Thanks, Susan Dr. Susan Schulz
