Presentations are the communication of ideas and concepts and a great opportunity to receive constructive feedback from tutors and peers in order to better and expand our work. The aim of a presentation is to convey the meaningful information as clearly and concisely as possible, which can be achieved through careful planning and execution. Know yours subject and be prepared but also keep it simple and don't over rely on text to communicate your message across. Text should be large enough to be readable from a distance, especially if you are delivering a presentation to a large room of people.
Tailor your presentation to the audience you are presenting to, but also assume the audience knows nothing ahead of time. Inform and explain your subject to your audience as concisely and to-the-point as possible in order to effectively illustrate your point. 0It is also very important, in group work especially, to clearly explain and demonstrate the role you played in a project, no matter how minor or major it may be.
Each slide should be important and move the presentation forward, but slides are no replacement for your own presence. Be enthusiastic, own your presentation but also be yourself. Try not to come across as irritable or stressed as this will detract from your presentation.
In summary:
- Know your subject, be prepared.
- Keep it simple.
- Don't use too much text.
- Each slide should be important, but slides are no replacement for you.
- Be enthusiastic and be yourself.
- Avoid using bullet points.
