The Lecture

The lecture on 10 November was interesting, but at the same time tiring. The positive points for me were that some points were effectively defended by the students of the Master's course. The chance for people who were watching to ask questions was also a good point; it was rather helpful for people to leave with no questions about the lecture. The times I did not like: lack of structure of some students. I found the Portuguese students were better prepared. The English were found wanting because their defense issues were a little outdated, the students were nervous, and a student especially without any structure to deal with the public and with little preparation to be a good teacher. Their advisor should have prepared her students better.
