Formal Presentation Report



On the 22nd of May I attended a presentation in T005 by Mr. Abdullah Al Homoudi ( H00161058) at 14:20
Mr. Abdullah Al Homoudi was discussing the Industrial pollution and how its effecting the marine life.
Its was a quite short presentation which took 5 minutes to complete .During the presentation I noticed Mr. Al Homoudi’s vocal were in good field or in good range. also he managed to keep a excellent eye contact with the audience.
It seems that Mr. Al Homoudi learned presentation skills; he got experienced in this area by accepting the critiques and try to improve his skill. There is a huge improving between this presentation and the previous one. He covered all the main point with a suitable time frame..
If I had a critique Mr. Al Homoudi’s presentation I would say that the example he used in the beginning was interesting and not very clear to the audience .We couldn’t catch his point and how is washing machine is related to the marine pollution.

Commnucative Skills

Reflective Log:

Several experiences helped me during this course, one of the most important to me was being able to stand in front many people and give a presentation about any subject. Also it helped me to manage my work requirements by establishing a suitable meeting with clear agendas. Both these experience allowed me to be more confident in front the audience and colleagues also improve my English speaking skills.
The most important thing to me that I changed in my presentation was the way I handle my body gestures more efficiently during my presentation. A good example of this would be to lower my voice during moments I wanted people to listen carefully to what I was saying and then using a louder tone to emphasis  in a exciting point.

Communicative Skills:
The skill I feel improved during this course would be the ability to have greater confidence when talking about any project or subject. Not everyone can lead the project and not everyone is great at communication and presentation skills. so finding the right person for the right position means your group has confidence in you for that position.
Some of the places I feel I could use the new skills I have learned would be job interviews or meeting and how to use your time wisely in the meetings.
My biggest challenges in formal communications were getting my body gestures to meet the idea I was trying to convey to the audience.
In order for me to get better at this weakness in my formal communication I would need to practice and try to put body to speech. this way when I talk my body ,hands and voice all say that same things which is showing the idea of the subject.
