Tutorial:

We were to visit the website that was asked and to make a "Top Five" list of strategies to help us deliver a top-notch presentation and also to look over the lectures notes


5 strategies to creating a well presented presentation:

1. Relating to the audience - Identify with the audience by figuring out what they read and what their general interests are (think about age and what knowledge they have already).
2. Practise - Learn and know your material that you are about to present. If you know it, you will enjoy presenting and therefore so will your audience.
3. Pace the talk and be organised - Do not speak fast, calm down and have a well organised presentation that doesn't need to be rushed through.
4. Visual Aids - This will help the audience in staying alert and not becoming too bored in watching you. It also provides information in a differant form that guides the viewer into seeing it in another perspective.
5. Flow of Ideas - Identify the topic/argument you are going to be discussing and keep to it. Let your ideas flow and work one after another so differant concepts do not arise and confuse the viewer.
