REFLECTION ON ORAL PRESENTATION 2

The topic our group had chosen was FOOD WASTAGE AND WORLD HUNGER .As a whole I think my team did a good job and we were able to achieve our goal of raising awareness about the imbalance in food wastage and world hunger among the youth.

INDIVIDUAL REFLECTION:

I personally feel that I have improved on my verbal skills compared to the last presentation. I think my voice was clear and audible to the audience and was pitched at the right level for the audience. But I feel I could have laid more emphasis on the key points by pausing at appropriate places. I also think that my pronunciation was good and could be understood by everybody




Regarding the non verbal skills, the font was clear and the visuals were used appropriately and well timed with the presentation. The content was clear and concise and was well organized. I think I was confident, relaxed and established good eye contact with the audience, there by trying to capture the entire attention of the audience. I was familiar with the content and I think that helped me establish good eye contact with the audience rather than concentrating on what I had to say next. I feel I could have made better use of hand gestures to lay emphasis and explain certain key points.

The content was well organized and there was good use of connecting devices. I think I have improved on my speed compared to my previous presentation. Though I answered a few questions in the Q &A session, I personally feel I could have answered more questions.

TEAM REFLECTION:



I feel that as a whole my team did a good job and we also achieved our goal of creating an impact on the present day youth’s mind regarding the imbalance between food wastage and hunger and making them aware that they can play a major role in solving this problem. Our appearance was well coordinated. There was an good rapport between the team members and transition from one speaker to other was also smooth. I feel we need to improve on our certain areas like coordination and should have rehearsed more times as there was time lag during switching of slides. On the whole I enjoyed working together as a team throughout this project and also made use of the communication and teamwork principles we had learnt.
