ABSTRACT
Presentations are a particularly good way to consolidate your learning about a topic, because you have to think carefully about the content and approach. Researching and learning about a topic in preparation for making a presentation often makes it easier to remember the information. Presentations also show to others what you know and understand. For instance, your presentation could be a very good way for your tutor to make an assessment of what you know. It can also help to make the subject clearer for your fellow students. For some students a presentation may allow them to show a wider range of skills, particularly if they feel they are better at talking than writing. Quite often you will be given a choice of topic and you will be presenting something that interests you.
