Prezi Argument

• Topic Selection. You may select any topic that you wish, so long as you make it relevant to your audience and that it is appropriate for a college-level course. This means that you need to think carefully about what might interest your audience. You also need to figure out how to make your topic appealing to us. As with any good presentation, choose a topic on which you are credible to speak and one which can be researched thoroughly! Thus, you need a topic on which there will be credible information. Don’t insult us with trivial or meaningless topics. Instead, inform your audience about something really

You have two options for your Final Project. You many either submit an 18- to 22-slide PowerPoint presentation (not including a title and reference slide) or you may choose to create a Prezi. You are able to use the free version of Prezi to create your presentation. Be creative in your delivery. Include visuals, audio, and video if you choose, but be thorough in your content. Your presentation must utilize at least eight scholarly sources, in addition to the course textbook. Be sure to address the required topics with critical

I will look to the feedback and criticisms given in order to improve on my presentation and communication skills for the future.

Finally, one of the main aspects that could have used improvement would be the introduction. The attention getter was not as effective as I had hoped it would be. It didn’t seem to grab anybody’s attention so the speech was already off to a not so great start. While the main topics were introduced it could have been done more effectively instead of just listing of the three main topics. Also the thesis statement could have been more thought out with more information about my

(2.3) Throughout the session I posed and received questions on all parts of the session including the preliminary points. I listened to the entire question and ensuring that I understood before giving a considered answer. Further emphasis was placed on the learners to ask questions by adding the point to the ground rules during the preliminary stage of the session. After giving an answer I further backed up the answer by restating the initial information from the PowerPoint. Prior to advancing a slide a further opportunity was given for the learners to ask questions. Although no further needs were stated within my session I feel that I would have been able to adapt the session as necessary if required

Though Changez was honored that America gifted him with an American identity, the allusion to Plato reveals the insidious formation of an American identity infected with Americancentrism, which is the ethnocentric practice of perceiving the world from a singular perspective because of one’s belief in America’s superiority (“Ethnocentrism, Basic Concepts of Sociology Guide”). Regarding his Princeton days, Changez’s reflection echoes the sentiment of Americancentrism when he says, “I have access to a beautiful campus, I thought, to professors who are titans in their field and fellow students who are philosopher-kings in the making” (Hamid 3). In referring to his peers as philosopher-kings, Changez indicates his knowledge of Plato’s concept of

The idea of trying to persuade the class into buying into your idea required a much different approach than we are used to, as now class interaction is a much, much larger portion of the project. This approach was, in my opinion, much more involved and beneficial, but, at the same time, worse than a ‘normal’ research project. Being such a new method of presenting, there was a lot of confusion. I heard throughout the week, and even on the presentation day, that people still didn’t quite understand what they were doing. Fortunately, the solution is simple, we just need more experience and practice with this alternative approach to presenting. Overall, I hope we do more innovative and interesting takes on presentations because normal ones are not as fun or

Dr. La Gerche gave an overall capable speech. His PowerPoint was well put together. It used dark colors that displayed well on screen and didn’t have paragraphs of text. The graphics were extremely effective some were

Group one, I really enjoyed listening to your discussion on the short story, “Love in L.A,” by Dagoberto Gilb. Your tone of voice kept me intrigued throughout the entire presentation. It is well put together and you also make it easy to follow along with even if you have not read the story. It is helpful that you started it with a summary of the story and then with an explanation of a biological strategy. It provided a better understanding about what is about to be thoroughly discussed in your presentation. It also makes it clear as to why it is helpful in literature. “It gives you, the reader, more insight into the characters and events that happen so that you can better understand everything. In knowing the author’s intentions behind the

The feedback I received was varied. The planning, structure and content of the presentation was good and well structured. Based on this feedback I was happy with the flow and how the presentation came across from this perspective. As a result I don’t think I would change how I went about creating the presentation. I do a lot of planning and project work as part of my day to day job so structuring it I found quite

i really enjoyed the time and details you put in your power point presentation. The observation of Ikey and Solly was especially intresting and the fact that Mrs.Firestone homeroom class used visual aids to assist the students. The way that she instiled confiedence in her students is one of the key factors many teachers miss when it comes to buikding the confiednce of students who are ELL students.

Putting together an online presentation that is not boring is quite an endeavor that leads to a more difficult task of deciding which presentation tool would work best. Which is which – the traditional Microsoft PowerPoint or the newer Prezi? The MPP has been the standard tool for many users which has commanded most familiarization requirements in all organizational structures. The concept of Prezi on visual aids is a flash-based application allowing the user to create a presentation using a large, blank page instead of the much familiar traditional slides. The main difference pointed in between PowerPoint and Prezi as pointed out by both David Wicks and Phil Bird is the method of presentation which could be in the linear or non-linear

I enjoyed the depth of this presentation.  Not only did this team present first (meaning they had no reference for the format of their presentation), but also this presentation followed a concise train of thought that led to the ultimate conclusion.  A few examples were used from media in order to portray your topic.  It's understandable that each speaker wanted to discuss their own media example since each presenter talked about a different entertainment median.   However, given that the time constraint for this project was only eight minutes, multiple media examples can certainly be costly.  Thus, I'd suggest perhaps cutting down on the description of these media examples, or even eliminating one in order to meet the time limit.  As I recall, the presentation was over by around four minutes.  Another thing worth noting would be to cut down on the information provided on each slide.  By using less information on the slide and expanding upon your bullets you'll be able to demonstrate a wealthier knowledge in the subject area without doing any extra work.  Lastly, it's easy to tell that a lot of work was put into this presentation.  The slides are well thought out and there is plenty of statistical evidence to backup your claims.  Ensure that for future presentations, everyone within the group spends a little time polishing down the slides to their core representations.  I believe everyone spoke clearly and the covering of the topic was

Our presentation slides focuses more on pictures, charts and key-points for visual aid. By keeping the slides simple, audiences can focus more on the speaker. The videos uploaded by the Centre for English Language Communication department tell us our weaknesses which we do not realize by ourselves. Reflecting on my first and second presentation through videos and feedbacks from Ms. Christine has helped me
