BEFORE THE PRESENTATION
◦ In some cases used to condense a whole months worth of work
(often more) into a 10 minute presentation.
◦ Prepare! Sounds simple but often people just don’t put the time
in. Presentations are one of the worst ways to show how little
work you have done. It is embarrassing! So put in the time,
practice it, and make sure you are not shown up when you
stand up in front of everyone to present.
◦ Plan the structure of your presentation. A bit of time spent
planning how you are going to get your information across
goes a long way. Don’t just throw it all together and hope for
the best. Imagine you are seeing this project for the first time.
Give it a story, a path, and let the information flow.
◦ Think about: Who is our audience, what do they want to see.
