Oral Presentation Skills
Scholarship Day
For the scholarship day symposium, I presented a demonstration of the MatLab Optimal Foraging Model. I showed the audience how to use the model, explained what each parameter meant, and showed them what would happen if we changed these parameters in the model. This was to illustrate the point that there are many things food and energy related that contribute to the survival of an organism; large or small.
Symposium
Poster session
I also had the pleausre of presenting data for Dr. Viscidos' animal behavior, "How Animals Do It" liberal learning seminar. This research tracks the progress of freshman non-major students in building critical thinking, critical reading and oral communication skills. ​It was also used to spark student's interest in the Animal Behavior field.

For this presentation, the class was split into groups of two and assigned a scientific paper to read thoroughly and explain to the rest of the class. This was to be done in a professional power point presentation. I'd like to give credit to my wonderful partner Stephanie Street!
