For lit upg/rading class today, we had to present regarding a particular period. Ours was the romantic era, and since everyone was frowning at our presentation, I was made to reflect on how it could have been better:
1. Should have read up a lot more so that i'll be able toanswer essential questions asked by the tutor rather than general questions in my approach to presenting the slides. Make sure one question is answered by asking smaller more direct questions.
2. Make the slides very clear in presenting the answers to the questions. Slide pedagogy has to be involved here.
3. Have a clear coherent idea for every slide that you are going to present and make sure it's stated at the start of the slide, expand, give example and end it by emphasizing on the main idea again.
4. Be loud and have a sense of humour.
Also I was focusing so much on the content that I felt another dimension was missed out. The approach to "finding such information" dimension or "how i came to know about" dimension which is very important in this internet era. Should have described that at the start.
How to focus on knowing what you know?
1. Constantly review your sources and see if they're based on empirical evidence (science of biology and english)
2. Constantly employ logical thinking skills to derive a particular hypothesis or idea.
