Classroom Reflection

Tell me about a time when you delivered a presentation to a large group, and why you think it was successful.

2) You will need to offer the promise that your choice or belief will get the audience what they want

(2.3) Throughout the session I posed and received questions on all parts of the session including the preliminary points. I listened to the entire question and ensuring that I understood before giving a considered answer. Further emphasis was placed on the learners to ask questions by adding the point to the ground rules during the preliminary stage of the session. After giving an answer I further backed up the answer by restating the initial information from the PowerPoint. Prior to advancing a slide a further opportunity was given for the learners to ask questions. Although no further needs were stated within my session I feel that I would have been able to adapt the session as necessary if required

Prepare a simple 1-2 minute informative presentation for the class. Use this journal question to (a) tell me which type of informative presentation you chose and why, and then (b) write out your presentation, and then be prepared to deliver it in class on Tuesday.

Hints: You must limit your presentation to twelve (12) slides. You do not want to overwhelm your audience with too many slides or bore them with information they already know.

What went well in all of the presented presentation; knowing the information, having an attentive audience, and presenting with confidence. Our first presentation was at the Red Apple adult center, we had props to help clarify the information. Information presented was descriptive to distinguish each section of the presentation. At the end of the presentation, we played a game called spine and show. The did very well by responding to all questions. When it all done and over, we received hugs and a lot of questions about stains on teeth. Another point that worked well during the

Eric, I think your presentation is really clear and informative. I like the choices you made on the font type and color, it popped with the images that you used. I think that your points are well stated and easy to read and understand. The only thing that I can see that you might want to consider is adding more frames so that you could include even more information on the topic. I think that you did a nice job with the Prezi presentation, I was very worried about using Prezi myself, as it is completely new to

Having those makes my presentation deserving more than one point that I got from the class. Regarding about using the apple during my presentation is so risky because I do not eat apples, but in order to do an effective presentation I must do it and also there is a big purpose of it and that why I have to include the apple. Next is gesture, I think I did good on moving my hands because I actually used it to express on what I am going to say. And on my visual aids, I think there is no error and I used all the high quality pictures and somehow those pictures are connected to the topic that I talked about. Lastly, my appearance, I dressed up for that presentation because of the requirements even I hate wearing professional clothes. For my perspective, I think I still deserved more than one vote, but that is my personal perspective and it already happened, so I cannot do anything with

The feedback I received was varied. The planning, structure and content of the presentation was good and well structured. Based on this feedback I was happy with the flow and how the presentation came across from this perspective. As a result I don’t think I would change how I went about creating the presentation. I do a lot of planning and project work as part of my day to day job so structuring it I found quite

I don’t think that I did so well during this last presentation. I did a lot of research about the drone I was talking about and I knew what I was going to say about the product. When I got up there I realized I didn’t know it as well as I thought I was going to. I should have put more practice into my presentation. I felt like I practiced but it was all in my mind. I never really put my PowerPoint up and practiced it in front of someone. When I got up and started my presentation, I went through my attention getter and when I took my eyes off of my cards I never really knew what I was going to say next. It was a lack of practice. To prepare for my presentation. I did a lot of research about the drone the

There were several practice sessions to time the presentation to meet the thirty-minute window. Frequent rehearsals in front of a mirror and audience helped with composure, slowing the pace of the delivery, flow of the elements of the presentation, and coordinating with the Power Point slides. Determining which points to relay to the audience and how to convey the education effectively was a growth opportunity. This evolution identified the necessity to add a few questions to invite audience participation. Copying supplementary educational packets was more time consuming than

it all in the presentation I was very nervous and talked fast. I am afraid that it didn’t go as well.

When my team first submitted the powerpoint to Dr. Schmidt, we got the comment of putting too much words on the slides. After each member spent about one hour making the slides more compact and more vivid with pictures, we were all feeling better for the presentation. Since it was a competition , each member tried the best to master the materials and think of the most effective way to explain those concepts to our classmates. Prior to the presentation, we met up early to practice and listen to each other's part to see if any changes were needed. Although the

As for the presentations I really liked that you were not so strict about them in a way and you always after the speech told me I did well. It boosted my confidence every time you told me that I did well and it was much appreciated. When you made the atmosphere in the class seem more relaxed during presentations and not so harsh it made the experience more calm and it made me feel more comfortable. One thing I would have liked to have was more time between speeches though. I just felt like they were so crammed together that there was not much time to prepare for them. I would try as much as could to prepare so that all my speeches would sound natural and flow well and so I could

I enjoyed the depth of this presentation.  Not only did this team present first (meaning they had no reference for the format of their presentation), but also this presentation followed a concise train of thought that led to the ultimate conclusion.  A few examples were used from media in order to portray your topic.  It's understandable that each speaker wanted to discuss their own media example since each presenter talked about a different entertainment median.   However, given that the time constraint for this project was only eight minutes, multiple media examples can certainly be costly.  Thus, I'd suggest perhaps cutting down on the description of these media examples, or even eliminating one in order to meet the time limit.  As I recall, the presentation was over by around four minutes.  Another thing worth noting would be to cut down on the information provided on each slide.  By using less information on the slide and expanding upon your bullets you'll be able to demonstrate a wealthier knowledge in the subject area without doing any extra work.  Lastly, it's easy to tell that a lot of work was put into this presentation.  The slides are well thought out and there is plenty of statistical evidence to backup your claims.  Ensure that for future presentations, everyone within the group spends a little time polishing down the slides to their core representations.  I believe everyone spoke clearly and the covering of the topic was
