Presentation reflection

Write an analytical reflection on your recent oral presentation experience. In it detail one aspect of the presentation; preparation, your delivery, the use of audio visuals, teamwork or overall impact.(150-200 words)


Our group presentation was on the prospect of car-sharing as a solution for road congestion. Before the presentation, I made sure to rehearse my presentation both alone and together with my teammates. We did a mock presentation to make sure that that there is a logical transition on the presentation. This enhances the audience’s comprehension of our presentation. Rehearsing our content points also further improved our grasp of it which allowed me to speak with more conviction. As such, I was able to be self-reliant from cue cards or the need to refer back to a written script.  

we made sure that our slides were relevant and simple. While it helped the audience to better comprehend our ideas in case they got lost halfway, the slides were also very helpful to me in the process of my delivery. I will refer back to my slides regularly to remind myself of certain details, and also used it as a guidance in helping me bring my points across. This also refrained me from pausing too long at certain parts during the presentation.During the presentation, I  had to consciously make it a point to keep eye contact when and also gesture appropriately when I spoke.Body language speaks volumes during one’s presentation. When I had a point to make, I would extend my arm to grab the attention of my audience. 

Overall, the presentation has given me confident and allows me to understand my weakness. It is a gateway to learning so that we can hold a better presentation in the future.
