A significant highlight was the group research project, which required us to pitch our research topic to the professor. This task provided me with a valuable chance to hone my speaking abilities. Both mock presentations and formal presentations were instrumental in this regard. Following the mock presentation, I received constructive feedback on areas for improvement, ranging from presentation delivery to specific points to avoid. This ...
