LC-1112 Presentation Skills for Engineers (flex)
Assignment 4 Discussion on audience and purpose
Based on the videos you just saw and the readings in this week's Study materials as well as your earlier experiences, answer the following questions in this forum discussion. In your answer, you may also refer to someone else's forum post answer.
(1) In your own words, summarize the main point(s) you got from the videos and text you just went over. In other words, what message did you take home from them? If you got nothing, please explain yourself.
Your answer should show that you went over the required materials, so please indicate clearly which resources you are referring to.
(2) Have you ever seen a talk or presentation in which the purpose and contents were not suitable for the audience? Describe this situation. In what ways was it evident that the audience was not considered carefully when planning the talk?
(3) In engineering talks, in your opinion, how could presenters make the topics more comprehensible, i.e. accessible for the audience? Draw examples from your experiences, the readings and the videos (if possible).
