Presentation Remarks

In general I was pleased in the end with our presentation. I feel our earlier preperations and practice-runs stood us in good stead as it was delivered in a very organised and professional manner and our timing was good as well as our use of the slide show and constant reference towards it. We managed to include much of our research on the slides which made it easier to explain this information in-depth when talking to our audience. Our presentation featured very equal roles for all of us and this mirrored the equality in terms of effort and contribution in preparing for the presentation. We made a conscious decision to do the presentation with as little use of our notes as we possibly could which helped to avoid the common mistake of standing with a piece of paper in front of the face and directly reading out.

To truly evaluate our performance and help us improve for future attempts, we also need to look at areas where we can work on. Although I feel our attempts to perform the presentation were largely successful, I also noticed we lost track of what we were saying a couple of times, myself struggled with this, requiring the use of notes to bring us back on track. This could be down to nerves or a lack of focus but hopefully will be eradicated with experience. Overall, I enjoyed working with this group and thank my team-mates for their hard work and contributions.
