This week we missed out on a lecture and tutorial as it was ANZAC day, but if we did have a lecture this week we would have learnt about presentation strategies and how to deliver a good presentation.
There are many types of presentations, for example, a self contained presentation(ie webpage), written presentations such as essays, or presentations you stand and deliver such as oral presentations. To deliver a good presentation it has to be structures properly, it has to include three parts, introduction, body, and conclusion. Presentation should grab the audiences attention and also give the main ideas you are talking about clearly.
Your presentation should be prepared way before the due date, you should use visual aids to guide the viewer and remember to alway back up your presentation in case it gets lost. Alway use the KISS method, Keep It Simple Studpid. If there are is too much with the presentation the veiwer gets lost and bored. Keep the audience involed in the presentation by doing such things as, giving them quizes or something to read about your subject so they don't get bored and wonder off.
These are all different things I learnt in this week's lecture(which we did not have) which I will definitley follow to make good presentations in university.
Tutorial (Work Shop Eight)
In the tutorial work shop we were asked to visit Online resources for how to prepare and deliver a presentation; http://www.personal.psu.edu/uxg3/blogs/undergraduateresearch/2008/02/online-resources-for-how-to-pr.html, to take a look at the website and make a top five list of strategies in making a good presentation. This is what I came up with
Top five list of stratgeies for a good presentation
- Show up early and organised
- Get the audience involved
- Use humor, BUT, use it wisely
- Practise, practise, practise!
- Be confident in what you are saying, other wise noone will believe what you are tyring to put across.
The second activity was to create a powerpoint with six slides on how to give a low impact PowerPoint presentation. The screen shot of my six slide are below.
Screenshots
Slide one of my presentation include many pictures and one irrelevant picture, this makes it a low impact slide, as there will be things that have no relevance to the subject
Slide two of my presentation, include what will be in the 3 main body slides, which include an animation of a confused person, indicating that's how the audience will react
Slide three of my presentation, is the first of my thre main body slides, which encourages to make a presentation unclear and unmessy, this is because that is what a low impact presentation looks like
Slide four encouraged people to make it boring and too not add any colour, this is because a low impact presentation would be kept boring and make it look like no thought was put in to it what so ever
Slide five encourages people to speak fast and quiet, because behind a low impact presentation is the speaker, who will not engage the audiences attention at all
Slide six was the summary which I summarised in about three lines, which also makes this presentation a low impact one, as usually a good presentation wouldn't regurgitate what is in the presentation but would re word things to make it clear to the audience to what has been said.
Readings
