Reflection on Oral Presentation ;)

The final oral presentation has finally concluded despite my lack of experience in full dress presentations. It was a wonderful experience to be able to wear a formal attire and a blazer to present in front of a class and it will also definitely contribute to my future presentation experiences. I’m sure we were told to wear a blazer and tie is to make sure we grab this opportunity to have a feel how the industry presentations will feel like to prevent awkward inexperience in the future. Chances like this do not come by occasionally as you do not have everyday projects and proposals to present in front of a big crowd. 

From this Final Oral Presentation, I have learned that being full prepared is a very important aspect in all presentations. My team and I had to do a lot of research to make sure our proposal is of value to our audience and in the meantime, also getting prepared for the presentation. Practical rehearsals are a need to further boost our confidence and accuracy in our teamwork. But, I still felt that we could have researched more information to elaborate more during the presentation itself. Compared to other teams, our attention grabber is also not as good. Time management allocation needs to be improved and the method of delivery can be more enthusiastic. 

Personally, I would have to speak up more to make sure the audience notices me and be more confident about my own project. Startups have been a difficulty to me and I plan to speak up and interact more with people and eventually my beloved audiences. I’m sure there will always be room for more improvement!
