other means of illustrating aspects of their presentation. They are expected to
speak for approximately 30 minutes and then field questions and answers for
approximately 20 minutes. Former guest lecturers include Indonesians,
Indonesian-speaking academics and Indonesian-speaking people who have worked

by students who cannot attend.

will be $135.09. This fee includes preparation and delivery of the lecture,

about main points that will be covered in the course of the lecture) for the
third level students.
