Assignment Brief Academic Year

• clarity in language, speech, and visuals.
• the level of detail you provide in visuals and in your notes.
• time management (making sure you get through what you need to in the time provided).
• what is missing in the work – it is often not possible to cover everything so you will have to choose what you leave out or only touch on; you might think about signalling this as something to come back to in the Q&A.
• what kinds of questions you might be asked in the Q&A.
