Presentation check-list

- Choose the topic and your point of view: what´s the main point and what do you need to leave out.

- Think about your audience: what does the audience know already? How specific do you have to be? You can focus on the audience on this course or you can think of some other audience. What´s their point of view? What´s interesting / relevant / exciting from their perspective?

- Try to be clear: if possible try to find a link to everyday life, use concrete examples and simple language. Use power points / some other visuals: lose the text and use pictures if possible. Power points are for the audience and they should make the presentation easier to understand. Still: you are more important than your power points.

- Plan a logical structure: how do you motivate the audience in the beginning? Be clear with your topic: what are we talking about and why? You can also activate the audience, if you want. (ask a question..)
Plan also the end: what do you want the audience to remember?

- You can use notes, but don´t write too much..  What kind of notes work for you?

- Talk it out loud and check the time! Max 10min. OR 15min. 

- In front of your audience:
Presentations = communication: focus on your content and your audience. Try to live with your nerves: it´s normal to be anxious / exited / nervous.. People are probably not going to notice, so don´t worry. (Or if they do, they´ll concentrate on the content anyways.) The audience is on your side and they really want to focus on your presentation. (at least on this course)
Let it show that you´re interested in your topic: that motivates the audience too!
