Reflection on Oral Presentation

Through the many sessions of the Effective Communications module, I have learnt a lot from my peers and also from my instructor, Ms. Lim. During the peer teaching session, I was nervous and presented to the class with a lot of mispronunciations and showed little enthusiasm. After the peer teaching session, I received many valuable feedback from Ms. Lim and my peers, most notably, they mentioned that I lacked of confidence when presenting to the audience.

With the feedback from Ms. Lim and my peers, I proceed to practice on my own and together with my awesome project teammates, Chun Kai and Ling Yi. Before the oral presentation of our project, I experienced lots of difficulties when practicing. However, my teammates never fail to provide me their utmost support which makes me feel determined to improve and make sure that I will be at my best for the oral presentation.

During the oral presentation, I felt that the first speaker of my team, Ling Yi spoke with great enthusiasm and engaged the audience very well. Furthermore, my team’s second speaker, Chun Kai spoke with confidence and professionalism. As I am the last speaker of the team, I knew I have to perform my best so that I will not let my teammates down. So, I presented to the audience about the benefits and challenges of our proposed solution and the conclusion. I personally felt that I showed enthusiasm, demonstrated good hand gestures and eye contact with the audience. I also felt that I engaged the audience and my team members at my side supporting me throughout the oral presentation.

Overall, I am grateful to my teammates for showing me what team camaraderie is all about. I have also learnt from my amazing instructor, Ms. Lim, who never fails to encourage me and the class to give our best in all the assignments and learn from our mistakes.

    I am glad that you did well in your presentation that day. I understand the pressure you felt that day must be immersed. As I was in a similar situation like you too. I was going to present after Liang Win who did a great and engaging opening for our presentation. I must say it was not an easy task for you that day. As audiences that day we can really feel the team camaraderie which was a plus point to the presentation. Things that i would like to learn from you is that the way you present with smile on your face, it really lighten up the mood of the presentation.

    1. Hi Wei Cun!

      Thanks for your encouraging comments. I really enjoyed being able to work with my awesome project teammates and I am glad that our presentation lights up your mood. By the way, how are you going to spend your holidays? And perhaps, we can meet up to have a cup of coffee on of the days that you are free.

      Cheers!
