WEEK 8

TUTORIAL

In relation to this weeks workshop on power point presentations the following displayed below is the top five constructive hints on how to make a good presentation:

1) Make sure that your presentation contains persuasive information so that you will keep your audience focused on the information you are providing them with and so they won't get bored easily or side tracked.

2) Make sure that you are prepared and ready to present early or before due date just in case. If you are ready earlier you are able to practice your completed presentation several times. Also by being prepared early you can practice not only your speech but you can also ensure that any extra presentation bits such as your actual powerpoint is ready to go and that your USB is functioning properly.

3) Make sure you provide tyour audience with appropriate information depending on your topic.

4) A good presenter is one who:
-stands upright and projects their body language appropriatly
-doesn't move around
-sounds confident
-someone who knows their topic well, you can notify this in an individual by seeing how they project the information to an audience
- gives themselves enough time to complete the task and effectively research the topic

5) Encourage the audience to participate in some manner, whether it be by getting the audience to ask questions, answer questions. (it is known that audience members who remember 60% of what they see interacIively are ones who are full involved in your presentation in a good way)

When doing a presentation aids in your assessment are always a plus. These aids should be related to your presentation topic and should have a purpose. Another positive effect in a presentation is getting the audience involved somehow, asking questions always help. In order to keep your audience focused always use eye contact, palm cards that way your not reading off them and speak clearly and at a suitable volume level.
