Formal presentation report

Formal presentation report
    On June 2, I attended a presentation was presented by Khalifa Adel Alameri ,H00154996. It took place in classroom T008 at 4:00PM and ended at 4:20PM .
    The presentation was good and well presented. He closed the topic of air polution in an interesting way which caught our attention. He maintained good eye contact with the audience. Also, He was standing to the side of the board, providing a clear view of the presentation. and spoke loudly and clearly. From my view it seemed that he was well prepared and organized. He looked very confident. The PowerPoint presentation was visually stimulating; there were 8 slides with the different backgrounds in each slide, so it was confusing between speakers. I think the text size, contrast and the amount of text used was fairly good. Also, the explanatory visuals were related to the topic. The transitions were basic and thus did not distract the audience. Khalifa was moving around a lot, which helped him to successfully complete the presentation.
    In summary, he did well in delivering the ideas of their presentation. He answered most questions asked by the audience, also he concluded the presentation well; however I feel that with more practice, he could get even better.

Communicative Skills

Communicative Skills


I feel this semester, only the first of many I will endure, was a successful one.
The objective of the course was to improve our skills  in presentations , and I certainly have improved.   I learned what makes a presentation good or bad, what makes it easier
for the audience, and how the manner that the class is held makes a difference.
However, I feel I should have taken my next semester English class more seriously.
The teacher graded rather leniently, which attributed to my lack of effort. It was a
very difficult adjustment for me.

People say the first presentation is almost always shit, but it doesn’t really matter because you’ll fix it up anyway. The key objective is just to present it so you have something tangible to work with.  I’ve discovered this semester that to present a good presentation draft, while not imperative, is highly beneficial.

I’ve never had much of a problem coming up with ideas and racking up the words, but what I found out the hard way this semester was the final presentation. Because it difficult to me to present with a pressure of the video camera. This was my biggest challenge and I did not skip this stage yet. I am proud of what we have given to this semester.

In general, I really enjoyed this course, I have learned to stand up to the audience without any confusion. Next course I will do my best to develop these skills, and it help me in the college and outside the scope of college. A word of thanks to my teacher Mr. John Vrhovnik for helps us permanent for the best performance .

Semi-Formal Presentation Summary

Semi-Formal Presentation Summary
On April 9, I attended a presentation by my classmate, Khalifa Adel Alameri ,H00154996. It took place in classroom T008 at 4:15PM.
The presentation was comparing between white board verses smart board, and it was 6 minutes long. Khalifa was good preparing so he had good eyes contact with whole class room during the presentation, also he used his hand to clear up the point .He was so friendly and confident manner. He was well organized and used smart board without any problems. I’m surprised for his accent . The start was a little confused, but then he amended himself. Khalifa was moving around a lot, which helped him to successfully complete the presentation. His volume was so clear but he had some difficulty to say some words.  In future ,Khalifa supposed to be trained more and more. The information in the presentation was mostly clear but, unfortunately, he didn’t use a simple word to stick with it. So I think the audience not interests it at the beginning. However, he did a nice job during the presentation with good eyes contact. The power point was good.  Also good selecting key words in the slides. The only think that he don’t work with it was the pictures . he should select interest pictures for the audience.
In general, The presentation was clear enough, good practice and organized ,and the volume was clear. However, There are things that needed working out, like the cooperation between members of the group.

presentation problems

Problems can occur at any time during a presentation that involves an audience. Visual aids can get screwed up; loud sounds can interfere with the audience's understanding of your point; or you might just make a mistake in what you say or how you say it during your presentation.

The time to think of a witty line to deal with a problem in your presentation is before the problem occurs, because more than likely, you'll be too nervous at that moment. Using humor shows your audience that you're not upset and that you're still in control. Staying on your toes at all times is important, because unfortunately, lots of problems can occur when you're giving a presentation.

If you want to capture and keep the attention of your audience every time, then make sure that each presentation you make focuses on helping your audience to solve an important problem. This is critically important: if you’re not helping to solve a problem for your audience, then why are they listening to you?

In conclusion, the problem that you choose to focus on must be a real one, one that is likely going to cause pain for your audience, professionally and perhaps personally, if it is not solved. Ideally, there should be clear risks
