Presentation Reflection

The oral presentation skill obtained from this module has allow me to present more professionally and confidently. We are required to present in a formal manner which is different from what I have done in my course of study in polytechnic. I am the first to present in my team and was required to start with an opener to capture the audience before going into the main topic of the presentation. This was something I have not done before and the interactions received from the audience can be surprising and interesting to hear. Through the class presentation, I have learned to deliver my ideas better and adopt a proper stance which I lack previously in my peer teaching presentation.

I felt that planning of the slide and topic sequence plays an important role in delivering a good presentation. From our presentation, I notice that some of the slides, especially the slide with three possible solutions, has confused the audience on which is the main solution that our team wants to adopt. Therefore, it is important to review the slides and view it at the audience point of view upon completion to prevent such confusion.

One thing that I feel that I should improve on is the articulation of words when presenting. This can be done though more practice and dry run before the day of presentation. All in all, this module has improved my presentation skill and taught me the importance of delivering a good presentation. The knowledge and feedback received will definitely aid in my future presentations.
