Overall I was extremely surprised to not only see how well my section mates did but to also see how much they've improved since last term. In the first term, Rab demanded presentations that were based on very high standards and it was great to see my friends actually live up to the same level or even go beyond what they'd done last time.
Although I would like to go and write a review on everybody, some points overlapped one another so I'm just going to talk about the first presentation day as a whole.
Firstly, visuals...I think most of the slides captured the audience's attention very well; especially by adding pictures and graphs and such. The contrast between the colors is definitely important.
Second, confidence...I could definitely see that most of the people who presented were nervous. I mean, they're talking infront of a group of people without looking through any notes...you can't really blame them. I mean, you 'll eventually see but I'd be all over the place with nerves caught on to me. Anyways, I guess it's how you show those nerves infront of the audience is what really matters. At my workplace, my instructor always tells me to 'act' confident. It doesn't matter if you're confident or not. You just gotta act confident and show the audience that you know your stuff. That way, the people would definitely be more convinced and also find you as a more trustworthy source.
Lastly, like Ken said, I think all of the presentations lacked a hook. Kristi succeeded in that I think tho. It's weird though, because she didn't have a specific hook. This got me thinking...why do I feel so intrigued towards Kristi's presentations every time.There are probably multiple reasons but a lot of it probably has to do with the 'way' she talks. She talks in such a genuine matter, it is as if you are having a daily conversation with her. Also, her topic is always interesting because it's different;) with a hook, it probably would've been even more intriguing than it already was!
Gah can't wait till my presentation:)!!
That's sarcasm by the way.haha
