Goals:
• Watch all students’ oral presentations including your own again in the CMNS 125 My
Media folder. Take notes while watching the presentations. Make note of what you
believe is working well in others’ presentations, as well as what you think is not
working effectively.
• Using effective professional email style, please write a 4 paragraph email to your
instructor at [email protected] that reflects on your first oral presentation, your
presentation style, and your peer presentations.
1. What did you like about your presentation? How did you attempt to effectively engage
and connect to your audience? Were your attempts effective? How? If not, why?
2. How did your presentation compare to others’ presentations? Did you find some presentations
to be quite effective? Please choose one or two examples (you can name people if you liked
their work!). Why do you feel these presentations were effective (presentation style?
topic/content? visual aids? organization? interesting way of relating to the audience?).
3. Did you notice some presentations that you felt were not effective? Please give general
examples of what did not work well for you as an audience member (no names, please, as
we want to learn from others, but remain sensitive to feelings).
4. Having reflected upon your own and others’ presentations, please discuss how you would
like to improve your presentation style for future presentations. Please be specific.
