Convincing presentations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this course we cover the basic principles of a successful presentation, i.e., a presentation using a slideshow (e.g.,&nbsp;<em>PowerPoint, Keynote<\/em>). The content depends on the scope of the course and the target audience and may include, for example: the&nbsp;relationship between speaker and slideshow, between expression and content, as well as design, aesthetics, information, and impact.

Persuasive argumentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Argumentation is central to most professional activities, but how does one argue clearly and effectively? In this course we look at the basic principles of <em>successful argumentation<\/em> and practical tools for persuasion. The content depends on the scope of the course and the target audience and may include, for example: what is a good argument? How can arguments go wrong? What does dialogic argumentation look like? How do I recognize and respond to bad arguments (so-called fallacies)? We look at argumentation in different genres: speech, text, and debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Training for teachers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The focus here is on content that relates generally to <em>the democratic mission of the school <\/em>or specifically to the subject of rhetoric. Both theory and classroom exercises are included in all courses, which can be about public speaking, debate, argumentation, writing for a cause, hate speech, and the more general question: <em>What is critical thinking and how do I get better at it?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.
