<p>Do you give lots of in class presentations at Cornell?</p>
<p>Like things that involve public speaking? Is there many instances where you have to get up in front of the class and speak often?</p>
<p>Depends on what classes you take. In big lectures: it’s pretty safe to say no. In small classes: perhaps, but probably not very often (unless you count typical class participation). Of course, there are also COMM classes that revolve around public speaking.</p>
<p>Most of my classes have been a combination of lectures/small discussion sections, and the only time I gave an actual “presentation” was when I had a final group skit in my Chinese class.</p>
<p>Presentations aren’t all that common in the grand scheme of things. And classes that give presentations are more frequent in some majors than others. I would imagine an AEM major would be giving more presentations that perhaps a math major, but everything varies.</p>

<p>Are you talking about 1102 or another course? I just finished 1101 so I’m curious.</p>
<p>what type of presentations do you give? I just want to get a feel for the teaching style</p>
