Analytical reflection for oral presentation
Before the presentation, I started to visualise how I wanted
the audience to understand the concept of our proposed solution. By breaking
down the idea of our online app into simple and easy steps, I would be able to
grasp their attention without making the idea seem overwhelming.
With no cue cards allowed, I first started to practice my
presentations by looking at the technical report and making sure that I covered
everything in my part. I would imagine being in front of the audience and at
the same time, being aware if I used any filler words. As part of my learning
process, I listened to presentations by TedTalks so as to learn how to better
deliver my message to the audience.
Reflecting back on how I presented, I felt that it was a
huge step-up from my polytechnic days. Personally, I felt a connection with the
audience when I delivered the proposed solution as firstly, the problem that
our team was tackling was relatable to the audience and that gave me the confidence
in sharing our proposed solution. Secondly, I felt that the rehearsals prior to
the presentations had been paid off because I was able to use as little filler words as possible during my presentation while maintaining a comfortable pace, I
was able to remain loud and clear to the audience. However, if there was one
thing to for me to work on, I felt that I could have added a form of
storytelling to my part so as I to enhance the impact onthe audience.
In conclusion, the presentation was what I wanted to improve
on at the start of the module and I felt that the opportunity given was
definitely not wasted as I have learned so much more on how to better deliver a
presentation.
