Part I:
We have all seen presentations, at work, in college, on the web, or perhaps in your community. What elements do you like to see when you are attending a presentation that would make you consider it a success? What elements would make you consider a presentation unsuccessful?
Part II:
One of the most common mistakes made in presentations is reading verbatim from the slides. Discuss with your classmate's strategies to prevent this mistake.
Discuss some of the right and wrong ways of using graphics and other multi-media (sound, effects, video, etc.)? What makes them effective? What makes them a detraction?
How might your approach to making a presentation change based on professional and personal cultural expectations, type of presentation, or other factors? Please give an example.
