Presentation Skills

Group 6: Dylan Tan Teck Loon, Liliana Tandrin, Ting Xuan Ying

10 key points in making a good presentation


1. Identify your main point (finding, opinion, etc.) and keep it short.


2. Summarize your main point at the end of your presentation. It is important to help people remember what was important and what you concluded.

3. Speak clearly and loudly. If you have a soft voice, use the microphone and ask someone in the audience to change slides for you.

4. Suit the presentation towards the type of audience.

5. Do not show your back. Never turn your back to the audience and talk to the screen. Do not get in the way of the projector light. Use a pointer if necessary to identify the important parts of the slide rather than turning to face it.

6. Stick to your TIME limit. Find out how many minutes are allocated to your presentation. Do not try to fit an hour long presentation into 15 minutes - skip slides if you have to.

7. Practice presenting. Never give a presentation without practicing at least once to be sure that it will fit into the time frame and that you know how to move from one point to the next.

  8.Show energy in your presentation. Treat it like a conversation - engage with the audience.

9.Make it as visual as possible. Add pictures, videos, GIFs.

10.Always ensure a good/Quick set up for a presentation - no one likes to wait.
