Part Two: Presentation Self-Critique On the 14th of February, 2018, I did an informative presentation on Dogs. This presentation covered a variety of important topics in a period of four minutes. These topics include the origin of dogs, how they benefit their owner along with the different roles played by dogs in society today. Overall, I believe my presentation was well done although there were areas that needed improvement. Based on the evaluation of my presentation done by my peers and by analyzing the videotaped presentation I can determine multiple areas of my presentation that demonstrated my strengths and others my weaknesses.
My presentation started off fairly well with a strong attention grabber, that made my opinion on the topic …show more content…

I was fairly confident before my presentation in terms of knowing the information I was going to present. Afterwards I knew that I had gotten the majority of what I wanted to be said clearly and precisely across to the audience. Although, I was well prepared after watching the videotaped version of the presentation I could see that I was lacking confidence, which resulted in “a shake in your voice” as stated by a peer. My biggest flaw after having watched the video and reading the reviews were my nerves, which ultimately demonstrated my lack of confidence, which is the result of my fear of making mistakes. How I plan to improve my confidence will be further discussed in my action …show more content…

This meaning that I did very little movements while speaking and didn’t properly utilize the area in which I was given to present. I didn’t realize that this was one of my flaws until I read the feedback from my peers and watched the video which made this weakness evident. I believe this was an issue because before I went to present I didn't acknowledge the effect that body language can have on a presentation. Not only this, but I noticed that during my presentation my eyes were focused not on the crowd but on the back of the room which led me to get distracted. I did this as a way to relieve my nerves and forget the people in the room; this resulted in me getting distracted. The following action plan will demonstrate how I plan to improve my presentation and communication

  • Pit Bulls Essay

    879 Words  | 2 Pages

    By any standard, dogs are extraordinary animals. They have been part of the human society for longer than any other domestic species. They exist in a great variety of different shapes sizes, color, and breed. They occupy a wide ecological niche that ranges from pampered pets, loyal service dogs, faithful servants, to feral scavengers. Even our attitudes towards dogs seem to oscillate between extremes. On the one hand, the dog is man's best friend. On the other, he is the despised and degraded outcast. No other breed does this run truer than it does for Pit Bulls.

  • Ofsted Reflective Essay

    553 Words  | 2 Pages

    However, I did notice that there were a few faults in the presentation, one being a fault that I personally consider may have negatively impacted our presentation. It seems to me that I was not able to deliver the presentation to the best of my ability as I had let my nerves get the best of me when talking to the staff. The reason for this was that I was not comfortable with taking on the speaking role that I was given and that there were last minute changes made to my slides right before presenting. Bruner, (1996) stated that the learning process for staff relies on the “meaningful dialogue” that is presented by the presenters. In this case, I think that my speech was not strong enough to grab the audience’s attention, thus not being able to portray my message about what an Ofsted inspection is and what the results from an Ofsted inspection mean. Nevertheless, although I was not able to present to the quality that I had wished, the feedback received was reassuring that I had not done terribly bad. I was able to see myself grow as a presenter as I noticed that my

    The main problem was me that I was kind of nervous so I forgot to introduce my thesis. I also learned that I need to speak louder from the video, instructor and my peers comment. Because of low volume, my audiences and instructor hardly heard my voice which can make them curious of what I’m saying. Also, when I speak, I was kind of hesitating to speak which is very distracting the audience. Some of my audience may understand that English is my second language but when my audience want to learned about the problem and the solution, the audience may find that my speaking is very hard to understand when I hardly articulate the words. As I saw on the video, I was staring a lot on the note card than the audience which I lost the attention from the audience. As I mentioned on the previous reflection about the importance of eye contact, I just lost on this speech. I will learned from the mistake that I done during this semester in this speech class and try to use the good thing that I done and keep

    After re watching my own presentation I have noticed many different things that I didn’t think of or notice when I was originally presenting it. While watching it some of the things that I think I did well on where first my talking. This is something that I know I did better on because I did my presentation a little different from everyone else. Another thing that I think worked well for my presentation was the word to picture ratio. I felt like I did a good job not putting my entire script on the screen but enough to give the class a good summery about what I was talking about. Some areas of the rubric that I still think I need to work on is being more specific on answering the essential question making it more obvious as to what my over

    Making a successful public presentation or speech to an audience was a very big task for me before I joined the public speaking class. I was always frightened and very nervous. Since then I now understand the process of making a speech or a presentation including coming up with a topic and from this topic develop the main points of the speech, research, organize my points, revise them, edit and make a magnificent presentation to any audience. People in the audience might sometimes agree or disagree with my opinion or points, it was therefore necessary to communicate my information clearly to the audience without making any judgments since every person was entitled to a different opinion and views about things.

  • Self Reflection Essay

    As I have just said, the presentation was on a role in criminology. My group had to talk about Forensics and my part was finding a job and explain to my seminar group what it consists of and how to become, in my case, a forensic analyst. Before the presentation, I was calm because I knew that I added everything I could find on the slides, but during the presentation itself, I started to feel quite anxious because I realised that my work was not enough and that there were certain aspects of that particular job that I did not consider. After the presentation, I did not feel proud of myself because I knew that I could have done better. When the presentation was over, the tutor gave us some feedbacks; my biggest problems were that it was not detailed enough and everything was written on the slides so I was reading from the screen. Compared to the other groups, I could have added more information and I could have asked questions to the public, as well as not reading from the screen. This feedback was really useful, especially because two weeks later I had another presentation to do which went really well. In this presentation I used my tutor 's feedback and I was more confident speaking, the slides were neat and not everything was written, therefore I had to study the subject, I also engaged more with the public. Even if this
