When it was my turn to present, I was nervous and unprepared for the presentation. During the presentation, I stuttered many times and gave minimal eye contact to the rest of the class. I felt that I did not perform well during that particular presentation, and decided that I should change my style of presenting, as well as ensure that I look more confident and prepared during the next presentation.
After reviewing the peer evaluation forms, and listening to the comments given by our EFFCOM tutor, Miss Lim, I realised that my biggest flaw was that I speak too fast, and the students were unable to grasp what I said. There were also comments about me being monotonous, and that I looked nervous, which made me seem unprofessional. Therefore, I have decided to improve on these aspects of my presentation skills and do better during the final presentation that I had on 7th of November.
For the final presentation, I kept rehearsing with my team, making sure that I know every detail of the project. I had ensured that I will be able to answer every possible question issued by the audience. By doing so, I felt more confident in speaking as I knew everything at the back of my hands. During the presentation I spoke fluently and maintained eye contact with the audience. I did not speak monotonously and presented everything coherently.
It was a massive improvement and I felt that I require ample preparation to be confident during my presentation. The reviews from my peers and tutor had been great help as I had identified what I have to change, and I managed to improve myself drastically.
