Our PowerPoint Presentations

In class the other day we were assigned to give a presentation on one aspect of our intended major. I still am trying to figure out what I want to major in but for the presentation I choose to focus on economics. I told the class what the eight principles of economics were and then read them a Dr. Seuss poem and we found the economics in the poem. I liked the way my presentation was laid out and the idea of looking at a fun poem because I think that helped keep the audience’s attention better. However I think that I went a little fast towards the end when I was finding the economics in the poem because I thought I was running out of time. Now that I look back on it I think it would have been better to go a little over to allow everyone to think about the economics and ask them what they thought before I just told them. So I have learned from that mistake I if I were to do it over I would have taken more time to make the ending more thoughtful.

There were a lot of great presentation that my classmates did but I think my two favorites were Tommie’s and Leslie’s presentations. Leslie’s was about visual communication. I liked how well the presentation was organized and by the time she finished a slide and had all of her information up the slide look very nicely organized while still having a lot of information and color on it. I could also tell how passionate she was about her chosen field. Tommie’s presentation was on non-verbal communication. I liked how she had images of good and bad examples of non-verbal communication and then explained why each of them was a good or bad example. She thought us things that are important for example an interview which most of us will have to do in the future so the information applied to us. For example she told us how to dress and act in an interview so people take you seriously and consider you for the position. I learned a ton from her presentation.
