Analytical Reflection
After experiencing the mock presentation, I felt that it was helpful as it gave me the opportunity to discover my strengths and to work on my weakness in my presentation.
The two aspects that requires me to work on are my enthusiasm and my preparations prior to the presentation.
Regarding on my enthusiasm, I realized that I may have spoken monotonously which might show the audience that I am not passionate in the idea I am sharing. Thus, causing them to lose interest in what I am sharing. Through this presentation, it has made me realized how essential enthusiasm is.
Due to my lack of preparation, I was nervous which led to me stuttering occasionally during my presentation. Besides that, it caused me to mispronounce some words and my sentences structure were wrongly used that made the audience not being able to comprehend what I was trying to deliver to them. In addition, during my presentation, I did not had a good eye contact with the audience. I was too focused on what I had to say as I found myself cluttered up with so much thoughts.
In conclusion, through this mock presentation, it allows me to be more prepared for the upcoming actual presentation. I personally believe that confidence is the most important factor when it comes to presenting. Also, with more practice and rehearsal, I’m sure that there will be improvement on my weaknesses and I will be able to present better the following round.
Hey Samuel,
ReplyDeleteGood job on the review for your mock presentation! Enthusiasm is an important aspect to presentation, i am glad that you understand how essential it is after your mock presentation. I strongly believe that practice makes perfect, so maybe you could practice during your free time on your presentation so that you can familiarize yourself with the content and be much more enthusiastic when it comes down to your final presentation!
Hi Samuel,
ReplyDeleteI have seen how you presented for your actual presentation and I think you did pretty well. You did stutter but I guess it is normal as most of us let our nerves get to us. What I suggest is that you can practice more on your speech and I hope that will boost your confidence. Your stance was good during the entire presentation, but you could be more attentive while your team mates are presenting. For how you can work on your enthusiasm is that you just have to give it your all and forget about your anxiety. You only have one chance to present, so do it once and do it well.
Signing off,
Ashley
