May I use a term paper which I have had to prepare for a university course as a topic for my oral presentation?
Yes, although we do not encourage that. In our experience, presentations of this type tend to be less successful: candidates often find it difficult to coherently structure the presentation, they learn the text by heart or they read it, they are unable to sum up individual sections, find the gist or explain things in a simple manner and are often unable to answer the examiner's questions. Because of all this, we recommend that the candidates choose a special topic for the oral presentation.
