Week Eight - Presentation Strategies

Lecture-

I the lecture today we learnt about how to do a perfect oral presentstion. in the Lecture we viewed a myspace video which gave us great tips on how to give better oral presentations. There are many ways presentations can be carried out. By using power points, videas and even web pages are a great way to involve the audience. The structure of a presentaion is very important. There should be three main parts. Introduction, body and conclusion. The most important part of this lecture was the final statement. KISS- Keep It Simple Stupid!

Tutorial-

In the tutorial we had to visit the website Undergraduate Research at Penn State Brandywine and Beyond! From this website we had to list 5 useful tips on oral presentaions.

1. Make sure you arrive early to rule out or solve any possible problems with lighting or computers. This time can also be used before your presentation to interact with you audience and make both of you feel more realxed.

2. Practice makes perfect. Make sure you practise out loud to friends or family. This will help you be aware of any possible mistakes and also monitor the timing.

3. Keep slides simple. Slides should only be important parts to keep the audience and presenter on track.

4.The use of humour relaxes the audience and keeps them entertained.

5. Enjoy yourself. If you are entertaining the audience will stay focused.

Below are some screen shots of my oral presentation. I found it easier to do my presentaion having these tips at hand.

Powerpoint 2003 has 4 main toolbars: the standard toolbar, the formatting toolbar, the drawing toolbar, and the picture toolbar. You can move toolbbars around to suit your own liking. Anything that is inserted onto powerpoint is called an object.
