Strengths And Weaknesses Of A Speech

My score did not surprise me because I give speeches regularly within my professional and community life. If I wanted to improve my score even further, I could look to meditation and self-centering skills to calm myself before I speak, however I am not sure that will support my energetic style of presentation. It will be advantageous to learn to temper the energy for audiences which require a formal approach, such as funerals and other extremely rigid occasions.

There was such a variety of topics covered in this course and I wish that I had taken it in a classroom instead of online. With this online course, I feel like the material went a little too quickly. If I were in a classroom setting, I feel that

Prior to attending this class, I thought that it was going to be a very boring one with long frustrating lectures. I was surprised at how much I was enjoying this class because it had to do with an area I have interest, which is, working in the community. Some of the challenges I encountered in this class was conducting a needs assessment, identifying advocacy article, and the elevator pitch. I can say honestly say that I learned how to conduct an actual needs assessment, although when I was doing my paper I did not quite grasp it at the time. It was not until the presentations I understood how it is done based on the information presented and the comments and explanation given by the professor. It was very important that I learned how to conduct the needs assessment, because my interest is working with low income individuals in different communities. Now that learned how to conduct a needs assessment I am excited to go out and gain some practical knowledge with a team. The lecture and the advocacy piece assignment helped me to understand what advocacy is all about; I now able to write, research and recognize and any advocacy document. The elevator pitch was novel to me and I had a hard time understanding how someone can give all that information in a minute. After the different scenarios that were role played during the presentations I got knowledge on how it is done. I also

Overall, I felt that I achieved that goal of informing my audience about experiments in social psychology. Some of strengths include achieving my message, incorporating my sources into the speech, and how well practiced my introduction was. My weaknesses include eye contact, speaking too fast, and wrapping up the speech. I know that after watching myself deliver the speech, I will know what to improve and what to continue doing for my persuasive

Before taking this course I was really excited about what I am going to learn. And I was right! This course is not only interesting but it is also helpful. I have learned that the grade I am having right now is the reflection of my try throughout the entire semester.

I am normally a very anxious person about giving any kind of presentation. I loathe being the center of attention and always have but that time I was enthusiastic. I was going to get over my fear that day. I told myself everything would be fine and even if I messed up no one would care. I had everything planned out a day in advance. I cannot remember now what my sermon was going to be about but I remember the events leading up to the time I was going to give it.

As for the lecture, it got me excited about this class. I have taken mostly biology and chemistry classes and most of the writing evolved around lab reports and research, so

This is the first time I presented a speech in front of a class. Honestly, it’s really fun and scary at the same time because I am not used to people having their eyes on me. Anyway, I gave a speech on how to build a skateboard because a lot of people skate in the U.S., especially in California. I feel like skateboarding is a part of American culture so it’s a good topic to work on.

When taking this class, I got to learn how to think critically, ask the right questions and formulate my thoughts into coherent paragraphs. The presentations gave me a lot of information; the assignments helped me remember and better process what I learned. And finally, the discussions gave me the opportunity to express my ideas, as well as an insight into what my classmates

Even though I believe this class is helpful, I believe this class might be harder for me than expected. I do not do very well when it comes to writing and reading comprehension, but I hope that through this class I will be able to excel and do much better than before. I believe that through proper time management, I will be able to do well and meet each deadline on time.

Some things I found easy with this class was it was easy to find yourself ranked at the top half. Most of the year students didn't do what was expected. Even when it wasn't a very big expectation. So showing up to class with your essay on time would put you at an advantage than most the class. I was happy to only miss one class the entire

Comparing to my pervious speeches, I thought I was more confident and effective. Since we were in the small room, I made sure that the tone and volume of my voices were balanced. Moreover, throughout the speeches I used various hand gestures to help me get connect with the audience. Preparation is one the most effective way to improve in any kinds of speech. Therefore, I could have done better by practice and preparing more.

Of course I was the first to be called up to give my introduction speech! Perhaps because my professor knew me so well? Who knows… but I was actually glad that I was chosen first because I get to set the bar without having to worry about competing with the previous speeches. So with that positive mindset, my anxiety levels were really low. On a scale from one to ten I’d say I was a solid two! As soon as I was about to speak I observed my audience, their faces, movements, and eyes. All the attention was on me and I got right into my zone.

I thought this class was a very good class. In fact I wish that all classes were this simple. I felt like I was able to actually understand the course work. I feel as though this class as

The performance during the preparation was mostly smooth. We all worked together and gave valuable information into making the presentation go smoothly. When we first sat down to talk about what we were going to
