Student Individual Project Presentations

Today the level-3 BSc students in my tutorial group gave the presentations of their individual projects. Each presentation lasted 10 minutes, with additional 5 min Q&A. Overall the students did very well: I was amazed by how well they connected with the audience (well, the audience was only me and another assessor): they spoke freely without just reading their vugraphs, had good eye contact with us, and were well prepared. I guess, the UK education system places a high emphasis on such a self-confident presentation, and this is obviously sucessful.
