One of the difficult things that we try to teach our research students how to do is to communicate effectively. Of course, we expect them to learn from our shining examples:-) This week they each give their first of three presentations: this one on the dry erase boards (the remaining presentations will be powerpoint-style (actually LaTeX with beamer in pdf). It is always interesting especially to see their first attempts: to see how well they keep to the time limits, how badly they mess up complicated explanations of things that can be explained simply, etc.
And it is especially lovely at the end of the eight week program to see how much some of them have progressed, how good a job they all do with their final presentations.
