My strengths and weaknesses
During the fall semester, I had a presentation with my partner Berry. We present in a way called "Pecha Kucha", which is a completely new style of presenting for both of us. Each of our slide will last for 20 seconds and the slides would continue themselves.
Strengths:
The voice is big enough for the audience to hear.
Information presented is well enough to let the audience get the idea what we are going to talk about.
I use some body gesture to help my presentation.
Weaknesses:
Message contained in each slide may be too much, I could reduce the information and just show the key points.
Since this is my first time to perform a presentation like this, time is a little bit rush. I could say slower to make the audience easier to understand.
I was a little bit nervous throughout the presentation, so I could perform with more confident.

What would I do differently
If I have the chance to do the presentation once again, I would make the following changes to my work:
1. I will include less amount of words in each slide and include more pictures that will help understanding.
2. I will practice more times before the real presentation and be well-prepared.
3. Try not to be nervous while presenting, be a fluent speaker.

Usage outside the classroom
Oral presentation in this class helped me overcoming the fear of presenting in front of other people. The benefits outside the classroom might include the following:
This helps me to become a better communicator in the society, because I have to face different kinds of people in different places at different time, being a confident speaker is really important. I learned to look at people when I am talking to them, and try to use louder voice so that people are convinced with what you are talking about.
According to the audience you are going to present, the information you need or the way of presenting might be different, so be well-prepared at any time.
