Week 7

Reflection on Lecture 7

In this week’s lecture we learnt specifically about what makes a good or bad presentation in relation to our coursework. The first thing we learnt is that it is important to layout a good outline of what you will be talking about throughout your presentation. WE also learn about the rule of 7 X 7 which is where you only use seven line of seven words each. This is to keep the information concise and to the point which is much better when trying to retain the attention of the people that you are presenting too. WE also learn that making slides to colourful can often be a distraction and can take away from what you are actually saying this is also the case for poor use of the animation in your presentation. We also learn how a strong structure allows for the best presentation with a clear intro body and evaluative conclusion. WE also were taught about the power of keeping things simple and how it allows for all of the most valuable information being on the slides and then you can expand into more detail orally.

Reflection on Group work

Andre and I had begun work on our presentation however after this weeks lecture we have decided that there is a lot we need to change and we plan to work on changing the format and the layout of a presentation to make it flow better and have greater impact when presented to help us gain the best grade we can. As a team we have further analysed the business problems and are beginning to work through possible solutions. Currently I feel as if the work load needs to be spread better throughout the team members to ensure that everyone not only takes part but has a clear understanding on what is being spoken about when it comes to presenting our work.
