...Background The presentation contains a set of information that will be delivered by the presenter to the audience. Information should be presented clearly address and details, so that the audience can receive the message properly, and not wrong perception of what is conveyed by the presenter. However, the submission must also be the shortest possible time to avoid possible saturation on the audience Presentation containing the information must contain data and evidence collated logically, so as to reassure the hearts of listeners. Presentations were unclear and illogical data and evidence will reduce the confidence of listeners, even the audience did not feel confident with the message / information presenter convey. A good presentation is a presentation that is useful for listeners. Presentations should be instructive and inspiring, making listeners feel enlightened after hearing the message or information submitted by the presenter. In delivering session message or information to an audience usually the atmosphere will seem quiet, serious and silent. For that, there is no harm if a presenter can break the silence. Presenters are required to be delivered anecdotes refreshing the listener's mind when the listeners are getting bored. And no doubt, presenter authoritative and straightforward in communicating a message but smart in terms of entertaining listeners preferred audience, rather than presenter who bring always serious that makes the listener feel tired and...

Thus I will be limiting on being long winded and will be as best as I could to be on the point. Prepared Presentation There are now a myriad of tools available for presentation. Don’t just stick to the mainstream Microsoft powerpoint. Be more experimental and try new ways to present. There are different approaches to presenting.

...CHAPTER I Introduction Background of the Study This study investigates whether PowerPoint presentations improve student’s learning and attitudes compared with traditional classroom presentations. While the use of PowerPoint and multimedia in the classroom has significantly increased globally in recent years (Connor and Wong, 2004; Bartsch and Cobern, 2003), few studies have systematically investigated its impact on student learning and attitudes. Rebele et al. (1998) note that little research exists regarding integration of technology in the accounting curriculum, and suggest that accounting researchers should examine whether technology improves learning. One study that has examined the relationship between multimedia and student learning and attitudes was conducted by Butler and Mautz (1996). In a laboratory experiment conducted during a 30-minute time period, they found that multimedia did not affect student recall in all situations. Butler and Mautz did find an interaction between the effects of the multimedia presentation and the student’s preferred class representation style (i.e., whether the student was considered a “verbal” or “imaginal” learner). To improve the quality of learning in our schools using multimedia is very effective in the teaching learning situation. It benefits the students to grasp information easily, to understand as much information as possible, to retain information longer and to gain knowledge that is observable and measured. Literally, multimedia...

...GROUP PRESENTATIONS (15%) DUE: Week 10 OR Week 11 Your task: Select one presentation topic. Research the topic using the GBC library catalogue, and locate four secondary sources (preferably articles) on this topic. Your presentation must have five secondary sources (please note: I am providing you a link to one secondary source below which may count towards your sources). Using secondary research, primary research (preferably a survey), and brainstorming your own ideas on this topic, you should create a comprehensive argument which you will showcase in a Power Point presentation. You may explore the issue from multiple perspectives, but must present a strong, defensible thesis. Topics: 1) Is the college degree worth the money you pay for it and/or does it guarantee you a return in investment? Should we view education as a humanistic experience or yet another consumer product? 2) Does communication technology impact workers’ productivity? Given the access to instant messenger, Facebook, and other social media, how do workers actually work? Explore this topic from a business perspective (you may choose to focus on the employer/ employee dynamic and reaching productivity goals). 3) Some companies sell “preferred access” to their services/products. Examples of this practice are priority lines introduced by select airlines or amusement parks. How do these business practices affect sales, the consumer, and business ethics? 4) Do the current immigration...

...In this report I am going to explain my own role in helping the team to achieve its goal in relation to the team report and the team presentations. Besides I will mention my contribution to the work and how I facilitated the completion of the team goals. My group number 2 consisted of three students: Cris Brown, Max Kelly and me. As we were going to be working together initially we decided to share some experiences and knowledge in order to know ourselves better. When we receive the first topic to work we decided to divide roles and responsibilities: collection of sources, control of formal aspects and availability of hard copies were three responsibilities that were allocated. Thus, we determined that everyone should be responsible for at least two tasks. The case studies were also subdivided by the three members, each of us would have the same number of topics to analyze and structure. As a result my role was collect information about my topics, select the main ideas and then structure my part to include on our presentation. The topics’ division was realized based on the preferences of each student and according with the best capabilities of each member. This way, during all time the distribution was really easy to make and all person agreed with her tasks. This process was used for all course and we didn’t need to change any point. Related to communication between the group, as mentioned on last report, we used the MSN to allocate tasks between meetings and after our tutorial...
