I have a powerpointpresentation Friday and I'm doing it on obsessive-compulsive disorder. So I decided to write a post on how to have a great presentation.
- Use Powerpoint this can be your secret cheat sheet if you use it correctly and it gives a more visual aspect to your fellow students and you teacher which is always a good thing. So if possible, use powerpoint
- ALWAYS look at your audience. Most people (including me) are very shy and don't like presentations or looking people directly in the eye, so you can also just look right above their head and that way the audience will feel more connected to your presentation which also gives better grades!
- Time well. If your teacher said that it should take 20 USE your 20 minutes a fully as you can if you have 2 minutes more or less it doesn't matter. So at home take your phone use your stopwatch and practice your presentation. Say EVERYTHING. Don't be like I'll just add 1 minute for explaining that picture, because I don't feel like explaining it now. Just do it!
- This may sound like a strange tip but DON'T stand in front of your powerpoint. I have seen some presentations where the speaker was that nervous that he/she stood in front of his Powerpoint which made it rather useless to use powerpoint.
- Explain a lot. When you started researching your subject you maybe didn't know what for example a hypothalamus is, so don't assume that your classmates will know what it is
If you're going to do a presentation good luck.
