SLS1103 Florida State College Human Resources Oral Presentation
Oral Presentation
Each oral presentation will been allocated a time slot of 5 minutes, including questions. This means that your speech must be at minimum 5 minutes and a maximum 8 minutes long in order to allow questions and discussion after the presentation. The instructor will terminate overrunning presentations in order to ensure that every presenter has the same amount of time. If you exceed your time, you risk missing the chance for questions or even completing your presentation. So, please practice the timing in advance!
The classroom is equipped with a projector; make sure that your slides (if used) or other presentation materials are readable, i.e., when preparing your presentation, use sufficient font sizes, and avoid color combinations with poor contrast. Pay special attention to diagrams and graphics. Presentations should be either in Microsoft PowerPoint™ or Adobe PDF™ format, or large flip charts or posters.
Presentation recommendations
Below are some guidelines to help you prepare an interesting and valuable presentation. The purpose is to make the audience interested in your paper:
– Make a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Summarize key points in the conclusion. Explain what your career consists of and why it is significant to you.
-Concentrate on the main ideas, achievements and results.
– Use visuals. Visuals are a valuable asset to your presentation if they are prepared and presented well.
– Avoid reading your presentation. Use slides or note cards as reminders that allow you to speak you’re your memory for one or two minutes without referring to your notes.
– Face your audience. Make eye contact with the audience and engage them in your presentation.
– Less is more. Center your speech on the unique features of your career. Provide enough contexts to allow the audience to follow your presentation. This leaves more time for interactive questions and answers.
– You are an expert and you have a passion for your career – show it! – Speak clearly and sufficiently slowly. If English is not your first language, it is recommended that you practice your presentation prior to presenting.
