PAXDC1001 Presence and Presentation
This course provides an opportunity to discover new knowledge and develop effective communication skills. Each of us has talents in performance and presentation that can be refined with work to give us better skills and confidence in personal communication and public speaking. These are life-long benefits. The course develops practical skills and familiarity with oral presentation and the concept of presence. It uses the study of drama and performance to build understanding of the nature of presentation, real-time, recorded and written communication. Through Drama methods and practical exercises, the course develops presentation skills. It introduces students to some basic methods and techniques using the voice and body to communicate clearly and effectively. We use concentration, focus and teamwork and critically evaluate events.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
