Critical Reflection
During the first week, I set a personal goal to grow more confident in speaking in front of a crowd. However, I feel that I am lacking much needed practice to brushen up my presentation skills, and this would require more time. To carry on improving, I will continue to practive my presentation skills throughout my time in SIT.
I find myself stuttering during presentations. My team was also very disorganized in the preparation of scripts and rehearsals. This resulted in us investing more time into our research and improving our project. This aspect was especially challenging because the focal points of our proposal were constantly changing.
Nonetheless, the amount of effort and time poured into the research process did give me a deeper understanding of the module. Having gained significant knowledge of my project, I was able to address thought provoking questions raised by the audience. In the context of answering difficult questions, I do believe that my confidence level has increased in comparison to when I first started presenting in this module. Moreover, I am now slightly better at commanding attention from a crowd.
As a whole, there is still much room for improvement. If I had better time management skills, I would have been able to summarize the content and information to enable easier recollection of thoughts during the presentation. I would have also been able to elaborate further to support my claims.
In addition, including a “Frequently Asked Questions” section would have been valuable as it allows us to anticipate questions that the audience may have with regards to other matters of the project. It would have also been beneficial if we had conducted more presentation rehearsals in order to build team confidence in presenting to a larger audience.
