Presentation Skills

One of the IPRO Program’s most important learning objectives is communication, both written and verbal. Teams are able develop their skill in verbal communication through two assignments: a midterm review presentation and a final presentation that is delivered at IPRO Day. Copies of slides from IPRO team presentations since Fall 2003 are available online in the iKnow library.
