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 .
