This workshop works best if you’re preparing for a presentation with a significant Q&A portion (like a defence). Throughout this workshop, we’ll ask you to think about your department’s defence culture, anticipate questions about your research, and practice asking and answering questions with your peers. <br />  <br /> If you dread the Q&A portion of a presentation or defence, this workshop will help you feel more confident about giving your answers. </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blockuw-cbl-call-to-action"> <div class="uw-cta "> <div class="uw-cta__center-wrapper"> <aside class="uw-cta__aside org-default"><a href="https://portal.uwaterloo.ca/#/events/10941/registration" class="uw-cta__link"> <div class="uw-cta__wrapper"> <div class="call-to-action-theme-org-default"> <div class="uw-cta__text uw-cta__text--big">Register for Design and Deliver Grad Studio Part 3: Defending and Answering Questions </div> <div class="uw-cta__text uw-cta__text--small">May 22, 2025</div> </div> </div> </a> </aside></div> </div> </div> </div> </section> Tue, 25 Mar 2025 20:12:11 +0000 Meghan Ashdown 995 at /writing-and-communication-centre
