What takeaways did you find most helpful of all of the lessons on effective speech preparation? How will you use these lessons in future presentations you deliver in the classroom or the workplace?

Reflecting on Effective Presentations

During our final course meeting in Module 9, you will develop and share a reflection presentation that addresses all of the following prompts:

1. What takeaways did you find most helpful of all of the lessons on effective speech preparation? How will you use these lessons in future presentations you deliver in the classroom or the workplace?
2. Engaging our audience through presentation content was a central theme of Nancy Duarte’s Resonate. Explain one strategy you used in this course to ensure your presentation content was engaging. Why was that strategy so effective, do you think, in engaging your viewers?
3. What was the most valuable thing you learned about effective presentation setup and execution in the online environment from your professor’s instruction video in Module 1? How did you apply these lessons throughout the course?
4. Natural and authentic presentation delivery is important in face-to-face and online presentations. How did you work to achieve these delivery goals throughout the course?
5. We learned that “death by PowerPoint” just won’t cut it for modern-day audiences. What tips did you learn about effective slide design and creating truly visual slides?
6. What is the most important advice you would offer students taking this course in the future?

Keep the presentation simple as you can with not too much writing and don’t forget to include the speaker’s notes
