Preentation commentssss2

Thoughts on my presentation.Well, first of all I can say I felt incredibly nervous before doing it. My last trials were not encouraging, because I had problems with the language as all my material is in Italian. In fact I would have translated it, if I had the time... Having your notes in a language different from the one you are going to talk in, is a mistake.When the others people were speaking, I felt incredibly warm because of the nerviness: it seemed to be in the Caribbean. Contrarily, when I started to speak I was more relaxed and the words started to flow, naturally. I listened to someone's advice who told me to assume the attitude as if I were a teacher who is explaining to his students something they don’t know anything about. Relaxed, clear and seeking the eye contact.That technique helped me a lot during the whole length of the presentation. I believe it went quite well, despite the fact I have left out some details.

Presentation commentttttt

After seeing my presentation on ClickView I have some more comments to make in addition to my old ones. I reckon mine was a good presentation, overall. However there are several points where I should work on.Firs of all, instead of pointing to the audience, I looked at the screen far too much. Moreover I noticed that I tend to repeat the same words again and again (bunch) or connective ones (like).Then I said "whatever" and "everything", because I didn't have the right word...For what concern the technical part of the presentation I an aware that the fact that I needed to go to the laptop and click, has stopped the flow of the presentation itself.Finally if I had to do it again, I would take that long quotation away of the presentation, because it distracted the audience while I was talking.
