Reflection on my Oral presentation
My team and I had the longest time for the preparation of the
presentation slides as we were the last team to present. The presentation
slides were relatively easy to prepare as we are only required to put pictures
in our slides. For me, the difficult part about the preparation of the slides
would be trying to link one another slides together and making the information
of our slides relevant to our proposal.
I felt that I did quite well for my presentation as I think I was
able to bring across my idea to the targeted audience and projected my voice
well. A few areas that I can improve on would be reducing the use of filler
words and gathering my thoughts first before speaking. I noticed that I would
pause once in a while to think of what I want to say next. I believe that with
more rehearsals, I could improve on this aspect.
I am glad that we were allowed to use slides for our presentation.
This tool allowed me to remind myself on what I have to say next. Also, I felt
that the video in my presentation would have more impact if the video showed
the Minister of Transport talking about bicycle sharing scheme himself. The use
of the wireless presenter greatly help in our presentation as we are able to
change the slides at our command and also point to important information on the
slides with the laser pointer.
Thanks for this, Greg!
ReplyDeleteHi Greg, I agree that your presentation was much better on the actual day as compared to your performance during the practice session.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I felt that it could have been better if you were slightly more serious during the presentation.
You also pointed out a few key elements that I think I could use to improve my presentation skills. I will try to include videos into my future presentation.
Greg, you certainly brought the message across well during the presentation. In addition, during the Q&A, you participated very actively in it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Benjamin point, can try to omit the giggles :)
