12 Apr 10: How to make and give good presentations

The presentation/lecture by Philipp Schmidt-Thomé was quite boring because at this stage, a student, a master's student for that matter, should know how to make formal and informal presentations. We all defended our thesis works and were taught presentation skills during our bachelor's degree, I guess, so the lecture was not of interest to me. Pamela also made a contribution to the lecture by adding that, we should be practicing it in front our mirrors, our friends and families in order to get used to with; these are things I heard when I was in stage 5 and we should know these by now. So, it was the same old story over and over again. Hence, the surprise exercise for the debate and presentation was unnecessary.
