Roughly 2 weeks before, I was contacted by Nicholas, my year 2 tutor. He asked me if I could give a presentation to the current year 2s who are interested in DPS or CCI course instead of going straight into 3rd year.

Basically people who may go into the same path I am right now.

I figured it’d be a great opportunity to share my example of what I do and cover any questions they may have, but mostly this was an excellent additional practice for me in presenting.

The presentation was held on 26th Monday at the Peckham Rd Lecture theatre, 12pm there were two other presenters, Cymon, and Rebecca (from CCI), and we all went turns, showed our slides and took questions.

I went as the first, and I was only one with the scripts whilst the others did free talking methods. Whether which one is better or not is not useful but I don’t think I’d been able to deliver my presentation in concise manner if myself approached in free talking.

However, the most improvement, I saw through my presentation is that, I was trying way hard to make it condensed, I wasn’t able to fully talked through necessary bits I feel like I need to mention. I feel like I left out a lot of things where the audience wouldn’t grasp on. Adding to the fact, I stuttered my reading.

How to overcome this… I should next time choose to see it in bigger picture in what I’m talking about, but instead of putting the slides, first, perhaps write the scripts/what I want to include in the presentation. Though it might be difficult task as I have a bad memory, but I’d attempt to memorise the script beforehand rather than reading from it…
