Oral presentations have always been a "love to hate" activity for many undergraduates and even for some working professionals. We have to admit the fact that many of us are not born with the gift for public-speaking or equipped with the necessary skills to make a proper one.
The finale for our group proposal was to give a 20 minute presentation to our fellow classmates. I enjojed my time working with my fellow groupmates; Caleb, Bernedette and Jacinth and they were diligent and amazing people to work with.
The practise run went on very well and i was quite encouraged by the comments made by Dr Radhika and my fellow classmates. Even though i found it quite amusing to watch myself giving presentations from the video recordings, they served a efficacious purpose in allowing me to identify and correct my flaws.
I felt that my performance during the actual presentation was a little disappointing than my practise one. I attributed to the fact that i had decided to try something new and different from my usual style of humourous and lighted-hearted. Personally, i felt that i was a little let down to my fellow groupmates as they did a fantastic job during the presentation. Nonetheless, i am very grateful to this module and my fellow group mates for giving me a chance to try out different ways to present and improve my presentation skills.
hehe, Johnny! My name is spelt as BernAdette, not with the E, but it's just a small thing. Anyway, I thought you did not bad for the actual presentation. Probably only because you were trying to be more serious. I think certain presentations later on in our worklife will tend to be more serious, so it's a good thing you practised being more serious. Just because we're in a small class and know the people fairly well, so we tend to be a little informal. But I thought you did pretty well. :) And it's nice working with you as well, in so many projects this sem. haha!
ReplyDeleteHello Johnny,
ReplyDeleteYou were NEVER a let down to team Jabe Joca. Your humour injected into the dry run made the class hungry for more during our real presentation... but it was a great attempt to appear more 'serious'. You are a smooth presenter and able to think quickly on your feet. Thats a really great strength you've got! Keep it up and keep improving!
It was great knowing you from ES2007S!
I agree with the ladies that you have it in you- just keep on refining your skills as you go along- you'll be just fine.
ReplyDeleteHey Johnny!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a wonderful experience working with you for peer teaching. :)
Anyway, for what it's worth, I really enjoy your presentation and I think you have very personal and natural presentation skills. Which really helps put people at ease, probably cause you look quite relaxed when presenting.
We all learn from our mistakes, so I guess we'll just take away what we've learnt from the final presentation and improve from there!
See you around school!
