Oral presentation reflection

Before the actual day of presentation, we were given an opportunity to conduct a trial run. I am very nervous during the trial run as it was the first time I am presenting to my classmates. I was given some pointers to reduce the use of pause fillers in my speech. To prevent the presence of pause fillers, I prepared a script and rehearsed on my own.

On the actual day of presentation, I was nervous yet excited to share with my classmates what I have research and concluded on my project. When I was about to end my concluding statement, I couldn't remember what was the statement that I want to share with the class. My mind went blank at that moment, however, I manage to recover back the information that I want to present. Personally, I felt that in a presentation the flow of the presenter is very important. It tells the audience that the presenter is well prepared in his/her speech.


Based on this presentation, I found my strength which is also my weakness. I had the ability to present on a blank slide but at the same time I lost focus on my script.
