With regards to the timing of presentation, you will hear from the assessors regarding the 5 mins continuous speech.
"Candidates, you are reminded of the following:
Your Supervising Tutors have briefed you on the assessment criteria for the Oral Presentation.
Each of you must present a part of your group's project.
Individually, you are given a maximum of 5 minutes to present and once your time is up, we will give you a signal and you should quickly wrap up your presentation."
Before the Question and Answer Session:
"Each one of you will be given an opportunity to respond to at least one question.
Before we ask each question, we will tell you who should answer.
You may ask for clarification or repetition of the question posed.
You may not consult with each other or prompt each other about the answer."
