With the semester coming to an end, almost every college student is going to have a presentation or two coming up. I am going to provide a couple different presentation tips to make your final go a little bit better.
1. Practice
The first piece of advice I have is to practice your presentation multiple times. You should practice alone a few times in front of a mirror so you can watch your posture and also focus on your voice. Then you will want to move on to practicing in front of friends or your roommates. Ask them to pay attention and provide feedback. If you practice enough then you should be just fine doing your presentation in front of a group of strangers.
2. Work on pauses
When giving a presentation is it easy to start talking fast and run out of breath. You want to slow down your words to give your audience time to reflect on what you're saying. Take time between each point to breathe and clear your mind for a second. These pauses can also help drive home important points in your content.
3. Know your content
Many people tend to read off of a powerpoint slide when they don't know everything about their presentation. If you are very knowledgeable about what you're presenting then you won't have to read off the slide or worry about messing up, because you can use your knowledge to fix things on the fly. This is possibly the most powerful presenting tool.
I hope my tips help you ace that final presentation!
