Hello ladies,
All the remarks which you have made are very good! When I plan my presentation I should remember your tips.

Well, I really have to say that Steven Sobs is a very good speaker! In my opinion, if I try to do the same, it will be a sad comedy... ;-) Indeed, I understand that I (or we) do not have opportunity to do that kind of show. But there were a few points in the video which I would like to deal with.

First, when I looked the presentation of Mr Jobs I was wondering how he can manage all this equipment. Like the presenter stated the most important thing about the presentation is a practice. I really agree with him! I have to say that I do not have a comfortable feeling when I am on a stage. However, over the years I have learned how to live with that unpleasant feeling. The most efficient way for me is that  I take enough time for the practicing.  If my presentation language is Finnish I have to practice couple of hours, if the topic is familiar to me already. But if I have to keep my presentation in English I have to use hours and hours - even couple of days -  to rehearse my presentation.

Second, my own presentation -  and the Master's Thesis also -  deals with the company reorganization. I suppose that the subject might be a bit strange for some students. It might be a bit challenging also for me how I am able to bring out the statistics for example a company’s financial indicators. It was a good advice to put the numbers to the context. I still have some job to do with this...

Finally, I agree with Heidi, it is very important that a speaker be aware of audience. Sometimes, the presenter has no knowledge about how well the audience have prepared for a presentation before or is the topic totally new for them. The presenter can take this into account in the presentation. Sometimes the presenter can leave something out. On the other hand, if the presenter notice that the audience is inexperienced she/he should add something in the presentation.

Thank you for sharing this with me. The original idea was to post these messages to the shared Padlet I had created, but your padlet looks great as it is. OK -- I just realised you had also shared this with the entire group, a great idea! I was just going to ask you to do it.

The video and text had a lot of good things to keep the presentation. I think the most important thing is to clearly state it's own topic. what are we talking about. And in the other way, it would be good to have something other than just talk about, for example, a slide show, patterns, formulas. It's hard not to look at paper if you are not accustomed to a speaker. It's a new thing, there are a lot of related terms, things. not everyone can be performers, lecturers. I can not expect the performer to expect everyone to do anything like the video or how the text file.

I made this yesterday and it's working, nice :)
So let's try this :)
You do not need to add a name to your comment separately. Once you have written your comment and got involved, your name will be in the top corner of the comment. I hope so. If there is my name I fix it.

Fascinating: how Steve Jobs sets his presentation!

The most important part of the presentation is to be aware of the audience. It is essential that the speaker knows what kind of audience he/she is talking to. They might have knowledge on the topic or not. They might have prejudice on the topic or they might be experts on the field of your topic. It is essential to know your audience to choose the right words. There is a major significance whether you are talking to a stranger or your colleague.

In addition, you need to be aware of the practical arrangements of your presentation, e.g. on what timeframe you need to stick to and what kind of presentation technique is available. These facts define the frames of your presentation. Furthermore, a good presentation is fascinating, not boring. To make your presentation interesting, you may for example use visual elements, such as photos and diagrams, and audiovisual elements such as voice and music. It is also recommended to take examples and make theory understandable with practical elements.

Furthermore, when giving presentation in English, it is preferable to use presentation phrases. However, I am critical on using these if they make the presentation artificial instead of giving the structure.

Finally, one of the core elements of presentation nowadays is the slide show. It is far too often, that people tend to add all the presentation text on the slide and use black and white slides instead of colors and other visual support. Hope we all remember to avoid this on our presentations.

On this course, we also need to remember that English is not our native language. Therefore, benchmarking Steve Jobs might be a bit too ambitious. However, some useful tips from his presentation technique shall be applied in other upcoming academic presentations.
