I did a presentation of my problem solution
eassay to the class. I aimed to convey the issue in my essay, to communicate the
current exisiting solution and give a better solution in my opinion.
As my topic is about how the STOMP platform
is abused by contributors that cause an infringement of personal privacy and
harrassment, it would have been more effective to convey my ideas to the class
if I could have prepared visual aids and presented my evidence in Powerpoint
slides. Since no cue cards were allowed,
the Powerpoint slides would come in very handy as a reference to the pointers
that I would like to share as well. Also, under pressure, I may not remember
all my points.
No matter how familiar I am with the points
in my presentation, it definitely made me feel nervous the moment I started
presenting in front of the class as all eyes were on me and I instantly became
the certain of the attention in class. I also face the pressure to make my
presentation as engaging as possible so that my audiences would not lose
interest in my topic half way through the presentation.
I tried to be as confident as possible,
first be adopting a confident standing position and I tried to give eye contact
to every of my audiences. Although I started the presentation feeling quite
nervous, I tried not to rush through my pointers and made a conscious effort to
pace myself as a conversational pace.
The feedbacks I received from the class
were encouraging. However, I may have to further sustantiate my argument with
reasoning and more examples and work on my conclusion to make it more
impactful.
All in all, I am thankful for this
opportunity to present to the class and receive feedbacks. It is a good way to
build confidence and presentation skills.
