| 1. | Participants will be able to design a presentation which has a clear aim, central organising principle, and a satisfactory introduction and conclusion. | Participants will be able to vary the organisation according to the aim and audience, choosing from, for example, problem-solution, topical, chronological, and spatial structures. | |
