Reflection on Oral Presentation 2

From the overall view of my Oral Presentation 2, i would not sure whether i did a fantastic job. However, what i am sure is that i have learnt a lot of oral presentation skills from this course.

First skill i have learnt is to make gestures during presentation. The advantage of this skill is to ensure that your presentation progresses at a good sequence. From scientific evidence, hand gestures are able to help your brain to sort the ideas in your mind into an order. As a result, you are more confident when you are talking during the presentation. However.the mistake i made during the oral presentation 2 is that i have too many gestures. Mr James brought this point to my attention. The problem of having too many hand gestures during the presentation is that it will be very irritaing to the audients. Hence, i will take note of this issue and make gestures only when they are necessary during my presentations in future.

Secondly, presentation slides should be short, precise and point form. The idea of showing slides on the screen is to give audients some points to think about during your presentation. if the audients have any disagreements with your ponits on the screen, they will pay more attention to your explaination. Hence we should not write full sentenses on the slides. Otherwise, the audients will not intrested at your explaination as they prefer to read on their own. The mistake i made during this presentation is that we wrote full sentenses for part of our slides. Hence, during the presentation, i found that the idea is very simple and clearly shown on the screen and i have nothing to explain my points. For the next presentation, i will make sure my slides are short and precise enough.

In conclusion, i hope i can perform a better presentation next time.
