How many oral presentations or class discussions are there in a typical first-year course?
This will depend on your faculty and the nature of your courses. Some junior courses do not involve class discussions or presentations at all, particularly if they are larger courses or courses that do not typically require discussion at the junior level. However, for other courses participating in discussions or presentations may be essential. Regardless, it will be useful for you to become comfortable with discussions and presentations because, though you may not have to participate in them during your first year, many senior courses will require them.
