Oral presentation

Finally finishing our oral presentation, it was really good and fresh experience for me to work with my team members and to present such a “proposal” style presentation. I am very delighted that our team overall delivered a good presentation and we get appraised that every one of us improved a lot. One of the strength we possessed is the nice flow and cooperation among us and also we can somehow trigger our audience’s interest to ask various questions at the end of our presentation. Fortunately, we handle all those question calmly. For me as an individual presenter, the overall content and eye communication are well addressed; however, since I was doing the conclusion part, it was not a well-structured conclusion which I need to recap more details about what my co-presenters had presented rather than just the outline of their content.

Generally, I learn a lot from this special experience to give a proposal-based presentation. In order to convert a complicated proposal to a concise and completed presentation really needs abundant work especially in in aspects of comprehending the proposal at a ground level, and coordinating and communicating deeply with group members. Additionally, as stated in the video watched during the last class, to follow the steps of Position/ Proposal/Recommendation is very crucial to deliver a fluent oral presentation. And also, I found an interesting paper which articulates the details of oral presentation skills from the planning part to the end of presentation. Please take a look at this web-link:
