Otherapproaches include having each graduate student present a topic of his/her selection5,community building through seminars6 and Ph.D. students collectively identifying andpresenting topics related to challenges they face in the program7.Although students get to practice oral presentation, two important components tend to bemissing: (1) Feedback to improve specific presentation skills for each student, and (2) Achance to present again after incorporating the feedback.

At the same time, the cost of solar electricity has decreased steadily [2].
