NOTE

According to the "Dublin descriptors" that define international standards for learning outcomes at university, completion of a Bachelor"s degree means that students should be able to "communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and nonspecialist audiences." Your presentation should therefore be clear even to non-specialists.
