Analytical Reflection
My group was tasked to do a mock presentation for the class
in preparation for our final one. I had sufficient practice for it, however I
felt that my presentation was not optimal.
One of the aspect was regarding my delivery of the
presentation. There was a lack of confidence when I was talking about my points
and it might have been because I had memorized the content I had planned
beforehand. After gathering feedbacks from my peers, I realized that I should
have focused on addressing the points in my own words as compared to memorizing
the entire speech content that was prepared beforehand.
Another aspect that I should be working on would be my
preparation. When my peers were asking questions about the presentation that
was not my content, I could answer to them but I was not confident of it. This
shows that I did not prepare sufficiently before my presentation. It also
allowed me to realize that I did not take into regard about teamwork because
there wasn’t much communication among the group when practicing on our
presentation. I should prepare and practice more for upcoming final
presentation so that I would not repeat my mistake. Besides that, I should also
communicate with my group members and make more effort to understand about the
presentation as a group and not as an individual.
In conclusion, there are a lot more improvements to be made
before my final presentation and I should focus on the delivery of my
presentation, preparedness of my content and bolstering teamwork between my
group members and myself.
Hi Melvin,
ReplyDeleteBeing part of your group member, I totally agree to what you have said. It is important to understand each member's slide so that during the Question & Answer session it will be easier for us to answer the audience's question. As for your presentation, what I think is that you are too nervous and even you did practice hard enough but it was not showing. Just be confident because you do know your content well so just go for it and impress others. You have been a great leader and thank you for putting in extra effort, it is my pleasure working on this presentation with you.
Signing off,
Ashley
Hey Melvin
ReplyDeleteI feel that by memorizing the entire speech for you presentation is not a recommended way to prepare your presentation. I glad that you realized this after this mock presentation. With enough practice you will eventually be familiarize in your content and this will also boost your confidences. Wish you all the best!
