<成績評価基準/Evaluation Criteria>

Students will be evaluated on their presentation performance and ability to incorporate taught skills into their presentations. A high standard of English is not necessary for a good grade (but it helps!). The most important factor in achieving a good grade is a willingness to clearly present information of a technical or scientific nature. 
Please note that this is a course taught in English, not an English course. There is a difference!
