Tips for Delivering a Good Presentation

• Be aware of your non-verbal communication.

  • Have good posture

  • Smile and act relaxed

  • Make eye contact with your audience instead of reading off your notes the entire time.

  • Avoid distracting behaviors and nervous gestures like rocking or fidgeting. 

  • Make sure to dress appropriately for your profession.

• Be mindful of your pace and volume. 

  • Make an effort to slow your pace and include pauses. Speaking slower will also help you avoid excessive verbal fillers like “ummm” or “ahhhh”. Also, work on projecting your voice to the back of the classroom so that everyone can hear you.

Owning an image usually means owning the copyrights to that image.  For your project, you want to use images that are copyright free, which means no one owns the creative rights to them and you can use them without worrying that you are breaking any laws. 

It is important to cite all of the sources you use for your research. Citing sources doesn't have to be hard. Use one of the links below to access a citation generator to make citing your sources easy and painless.
