The entire presentation of presentations, I was just blown away by our teacher's presentation skills. As she would discuss voice quality, she would perfectly change her pitch, tone, rate, and volume. As she would discuss gestures, she would again perfectly demonstrate that which we were trying to understand or learn.
As I progress in school, give more talks in church, or need to give important interviews or presentations with companies, I know I will remember the lesson we had on Tuesday. I will especially remember it when I see others explicitly doing things she pointed out as wrong. OK, now you all know one of my character flaws. I can now check off "baring my soul" from my blog bucket list.
Great post. I felt the same thing during Professor Middleton's class. She really does teach by example. It is easy to see exactly how one should present by just following professor Middleton's example.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be hard not to laugh when I see people doing the things in their presentations that we talked about in class!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see examples of what we should and should not be doing while we are presenting, and Professor Middleton is so good at showing us both! I definitely feel like I have learned a lot from her...now it's time to put it into motion.
ReplyDeleteAlso - great song! Thanks for posting that.
I totally agree. I'm always so "in my head" when I'm presenting. I over think about how I'm being perceived which just makes it all the more difficult to just speak and move naturally. Professor Middleton is always very natural in her delivery.
