In this assignment we had to present a current event to the class. For this class it had to be related to biology. I did my current event on an experiment on phenotype switching. I had most of the information memorized so I put the key points on the slideshow. My presentation went very well.
I chose this because I think it shows that I am able to research things that I am interested in effectively. It also shows that my presentation skills are very good. I had to really know all my information because I only put bullet points and images. It shows that I am very capable of learning things on my own.
This assignment shows my communication skills. I was able to effectively present information to my peers. I made it so that my presentation wouldn't be boring by getting rid of large blocks of text. It was a very simple layout. I think that my peers were engaged throughout the presentation.
I think this shows my growth in keeping my audiences attention. I had been listening to a lot of presentations lately and I found most of them to be very boring. Most of the time it was because they were reading long paragraphs of text. I made sure to not put any big paragraphs that no one would care to read. I think that this combined with more images makes a great presentation.
I could definitely make my slides look more interesting. I think that the addition of color and a video would have been great. My title slide was very bland and barebones. I think if I had a custom slide template it would have looked much better. A short video would have also been fantastic.
