Our graded presentation

Hey everyone!

After weeks of improving our presentation skills the last graded group presentation is due.

Every group consisted out of three people, who are supposed to give a 15 minutes presentations about a specific topic. The grade we will receive, counts for 25% of the whole end grade, thus, it is very important to put a lot of effort in it.

After some hours of analyzing, writing, and practicing, we finally finished our PowerPoint presentation about "Audiowire". Audiowire is a fictional company, selling headphones and other audio products. Due to a rather old and unattractive looking website, selling rates are getting bad. We are the consulting company "Online Experience" and are supposed to hold a meeting, in which we give our recommendations concerning improvements for the website, in order to raise selling rates.

In the meantime, we already hold our presentation and it went quite well. Due to we were the first team, nervousness was recognizable, although we already did so many presentations. However, in the end everything went well.

How did we practice for this presentation?

After collecting and writing all crucial information concerning the content of the presentation, we teamed up, in order to practice the whole presentation. With "we", i mean my colleagues Cem and Koen, with whom i hold the meeting. I provide you with a link to their blogs, just click on their names. To practice, we made up an audience, consisting out of two of our group, while the other one is presenting his part. This was a good way to think about supportive terms and pre choose suited words to present it the next day in class. Furthermore, these dry runs took away some uncertainties concerning how to present, and provided us with feedback to further improve.

Next day in class, the presentation was due. Despite the training, everyone was nervous. However, because we practiced before hand, everything was fluently.

This, was also because of our great audience, who gave us helpful and interesting feedback, to improve our mistakes and enhance the following presentation.
