Evaluation of Oral Presentation- #5

The Oral Presentation (OP) was quite an experience and it was good to see everyone’s effort pay off. However, there are definitely areas of improvement to be worked on. For my part, I am proud to have delivered the survey results analysis with good eye contact, a voice louder than usual and correct intonation to highlight main points. However, I regret having appeared jittery at the beginning because I could not get the right word to use and I even used repetitive words due to my tendency to re-emphasize on main points. Furthermore, owing to my concern for time limit, I spoke faster than expected but thankfully I became more confident subsequently.

At the end of it, I do find the presentation persuasive especially with the supporting evidence which was put across forcefully to emphasis on the current concern of FOE students thus the need for our module. The data collection and survey results analysis took the team a lot of effort and our proposed ideas were separated into different categories to better the suit the needs of the students as well as to address the different module structure the NUSEU may prefer to offer.

During the presentation, we have brought up several points in an attempt to address the concerns regarding budget, duration etc. of the implementation of the module. The biggest pity is that we exceed the time limit by a fraction which made our presentation appear draggy. Overall, everyone managed to put across the main points of the proposal in an analytical and persuasive manner.

  1. Dear Shu Yan,

    You and your teams' efforts in data collection and analysis are indeed evident in your presentation. Personally, I feel that there was a vast improvement in your pace of speaking as I could hear and process what you were saying very clearly this time round, which I was less able to do so during your last peer-teaching presentation.

    Regarding this post, perhaps the phrasing of sentences can be further improved on. An example would be to break up the last sentence in the second paragraph or add punctuations within it so that it does not appear as long.

    As a last note, you display such a clear analysis of you and your team's performance that I am confident that you would continue on the path of self-improvement even after this module.

  2. Dear Teammate,

    I agree with what Si Xiao said that your pace has improved dramatically compared to your first presentation when I had difficulty keeping up. I think you did a good job with covering the analysis of the primary research and linked up everything well. The confidence and comfort level with presenting were also evident.

    As for your blog, it is quite clear and you have chosen your content well, covering a large amount of information in such a short space which is commendable. However, I think it could have been made more concise at certain parts. Also, you can reduce the content a little by picking only the most important points to discuss.

    Overall, a very good presentation and comprehensive blog post! I had a wonderful time working with you! ;)

  3. Dear Shu Yan,

    I am impress with the way the data was collected and presented in the OP. I agree that you appeared jittery at the start. But that might be because you had realised the time limitation. Overall, there was an improvement in your presentation. Although you were speaking faster, you were clear and audible. Hence, I had no problem listening to what you were saying.

    As for the post, you managed to squeeze a lot of content into it! I feel that it may be better to shorten some complex sentences into shorter ones.

    Overall, it was a nice presentation and a goodie filled blog post. :)

    Regards
    Kenneth
