CHAPTER 6 PRESENTATION ASSESSMENT

1 h

Learning Objectives
After studying of this chapter, you will be able:

 To analyse a presentation and assess its individual aspects;
 To see your own presentation from a distance and deal with each aspect
separately;
 Based on the previous point, to increase the efficiency of your
presentation.

Effective presenters know very well that communication is both intellectual and
emotional. Presenting good ideas is one part of the task, the other is to gain and
maintain the audience’s attention and to impress them. What you can do in this
point is to:

- Show enthusiasm for your subject. The audience will forgive the speaker a lot
if he/she shows enthusiasm. If you emit positive energy and it can be seen that
you are interested in the topic, the listeners will mostly response in the same
way - positively.

- Pay attention to your voice and body language during the presentation.
Don´t behave in the way which may seem impolite, overconfident or even
offensive.

Effective oral presentation in a nutshell
There are several aspects you should consider for the time of presentation itself
(delivery).

1. Speaker´s appearance. First impressions influence the audience’s attitudes to
you. Think about your appearance and avoid extremes. Dress appropriately
for the occasion, i.e. in the style the other participants do, either in a more
formal, or casual style. Avoid eccentricity, don´t try to be exceptional and
remembered as “the person in the strange clothing” or something similar.

2. Notes. Never read from a manuscript word by word. When the worst comes
to the worst, the “safety net” in the form of notes can reduce your anxiety
