Important
You will be graded on how well you present, as well as how professional your presentation looks. Make sure you take the time to create a clean, professional, and interesting presentation.
The multimedia used in your presentation needs to be organized, interesting, and focused. Don’t put everything you are going to say in the presentation. This does two things: 1. It is very tempting to read your presentation instead of learning and knowing the material, and 2. It bores the audience to no end. Be concise with the information the audience will see.
*Your basic presentation requires you to only present it to me.
Be sure to practice before you present. Presenting is difficult, and practicing will only help you improve. Find some friends or family members for whom you can present and get their opinions on your performance.
