Ultimately a Good Presentation Depends on the Script and the Person

Most people hate presentations, whether as a presenter, listener or evaluator.  The truth is, this sweeping statement is completely justified. Most of us know how it feels like listening to or presenting boring, incoherent and ‘bullet-train speed’ presentations.  Yep - ‘bullet-train speed’ because most of the times, we are given 5 minutes to present our topic in class, so as to accommodate presentations by other students.  It is really a nightmare trying to cram a 5 to 10-page report into a 5-minute presentation.  But that’s how it is.  Oral presentation is inevitable.  So what are the keys to a successful presentation?

International Students Gain Admission Through Transition Programmes while Dutch Students Have to Go the Whole Nine Yards

Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences is calling on the Dutch Inspectorate of Education to evaluate the way agencies recruit international students for transition-year programmes, which eventually win them a place at Dutch universities, questioning whether that place is legitimately earned. Wittenborg has uncovered that international students are being 'fast-tracked' into research universities, not having a qualification that is equivalent to the national requirement.

Wittenborg’s chair of the executive board, Peter Birdsall, said WUAS management has written to the Ministry yesterday. In the letter Birdsall raised his concerns, that were also previously published in  'Onde...

Perspective Matters - What’s your perspective about ‘Perspective’?

Perspective in the Cambridge Dictionary means: “a particular way of considering something or to think about a situation or problem in a wise and reasonable way”.  Perspective in American English means: “a particular way of viewing things that depends on one’s experience and personality”.
 
Most of us will not be able to solve the mystery or the riddle above.  Why?  It’s because of perspective.  ...
