Introducing issues and ideas

You are here

If you have decided to discuss a particular issue, or move a particular issue forward, you will need to prepare your strategy well. Preparation is the key to success

Think about:

how you will introduce that point
what facts/research you will need to support your issue
when is the right time to raise a point to inform the discussion (inappropriate timing may cause you to lose the opportunity)
who is likely to support you (you may wish to discuss your approach and form allies beforehand).

Sometimes it is useful to write a paper on an issue. Committee members may prefer to respond to written arguments. You may well find your paper forms the working document for the discussion.
