A good presentation is..

This morning got up in the wee hours before sunrise.. (7am! gues sum of u might be arguing, "7am is not wee any longer u know! u know wat's wee hours ka?" i know i know..bt it rained, so d sky was stil very dark, tats y literally considerred as wee hours also lah!) the entire body ached, eyes groaning.. but the spiritually-strong gal (tats me!) managed to push her way in amongst the crowd into commuter train at kepong stn, headin to UPM.

Tx to kY for d transports, appreciate it a great deal. ;)

There were 3 talks this morning, held in vet fac, namely on writing project proposal, thesis writing and The dos and don'ts in presentations. I find the 3rd one most general, n thus could b most useful to my readers. So i'll just elaborate on tat la. on 2nd thought, it's a ONE-HOUR talk! (by Pak Sheikh). surely i dn wana clog my blog with jst this. i decide to KISS it.

1. slides' back ground should be dark, with eye-comfy fonts
2. limit the animation n details
3. stand confidently, upright, energetic, smile n RELAX!
4. eye contact with audience
5. tone variation in voice
6. keep to time
7. Remember, ur giving a presentation, NOT A LECTURE! respect ur audience's intelligence.

well.. tat's a gist of it. hopefully u may find it useful. someday. somehow. ;)

psst. KISS = keep it short n simple. :P dun stray..
