“With hindsight, what advice would you give to next year's students about preparing for the A1W group presentation?”

Preparing for the A1W group presentation:

The advice that I would give to next year students of A1W preparing for their presentation are the points below. In order to prepare a good presentation, the points below are some of the main points which can give you a kind of good guidance. First, get to know people and make mates as fast as possible.

A good and effective presentation should have certain criteria’s like:
1. You have to know what you are doing(the subject), and form a group don’t wait to be put into groups as you might waste your time and not get well with the group you haven’t pick yourself.
2. Know your audience, and find out how long your presentation will last by rehearsing it several times. The introduction and summary bit is very important as well as the main body. The reason to that is, that you are preparing your audience what you are going to tell them and concluding by what you have told them on the summary slide.
3. Make your research as much as necessary and mostly do not forget to reference it at the time you collected the materials using the Harvard referencing system.
4. Prepare audience friendly and apply simple animations to your slides
5. Make group meetings as much as necessary
6. Whenever you meet record the minutes of meetings, names of attendance, locations of meetings, who attended and not, what progress you made so far, etc...
7. Having made your research and putting them on slides, book one of the presentation practice rooms and rehearse it and if possible ask someone from the learning support to be your audience and give you feed backs
8. Have good communication with your group members and if any group member keeps dragging you make her/him aware that it is a group work
9. Remember also you are doing presentation. Therefore, how you present yourself counts, make eye contacts; prepare to answer for any question arises.
10. Last but not list have full name contact of every group member and never live it too late. The earlier you do it the better your presentation will be.
