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 point of view?
- Try to be clear: if possible try to find a link to everyday life, use
concrete examples and simple language. Use power points / prezi / something
else: 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. PPs are not the presentation, you
are.
- 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.. are you sure you need the notes
or are the power points enough? Power points can work well as notes, but
remember: they are for the audience, not for the speaker.
- Talk it out loud and check the time! Max 10min. (or 15 min. if needed. Please choose this in advance.)
- In front of your audience:
Presentations = communication: focus on your substance 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. 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!
