Deliverable: 3-4 min persuasive presentation

The deliverable of this assignment is a 3-4 min presentation on your selected topic. You can freely choose the topic for your presentation, as long as it is persuasive, business-related and appropriate for the context. The audience of your presentation can be the students as is, or you can freely choose another, imaginary audience. In the latter case, just let your fellow students know what role you expect them to have when they listen to your presentation.

In the presentation, do NOT use any PowerPoint slides, Prezi-visuals or the like. In essence, we want to see just you and your story. You are warmly encouraged, however, to use other visual support materials (e.g. product demo if you are selling a product).

In class, you will give your presentation to your fellow students. They will then give you feedback after watching it.

There is no need to submit anything to this submission box before class.

You will give your presentations in turns in small groups. The others in the small group act as the audience, and also write down feedback during the presentation. For each presenter, this feedback should cover both strong points and points to consider.

After each presentation, spend about 5 minutes giving oral feedback to the presenter and discuss the feedback together. Talk about both the good points of the presentation and the points to consider. It is important that the presenter gets comprehensive feedback in order to know what their strong points and key development areas are.
