Reflection on Oral presentation 2

On 25th of March 2010, we had an oral presentation for CG1413 problem solving. This is my second presentation in NUS. Because we are presenting in 5 person group, so each of our presentation part is not long, this make me don't have to speak a lot in class.

Team Reflection
----------------
My teammate Andy, is a strong speaker. He speaks very loud but clear, and manage to present his point well. But the content of his presentation a bit lack of humor and too much facts and points. I think that he too serious when he presenting in-front of the class, he should relax a bit.

My teammate Joon Wai is doing quite well in his presentation, his presentation has humor, contents are clear and concise, and his face don't show nervous when he in front of the audience. But i think that he can improve on his presentation by showing more face expression when he presenting.

My teammate Annie is doing fine with her presentation. When she speak in-front of the audience, we can know that she really nervous. But still, she manage to overcome her fears and present her point until the end. This is very good.

My teammate Corn is also doing fine. But i think he went a bit too fast with his presentation. But still, he able to present his points in clear and concise way.

Individual Reflection
---------------------
Before i enter NUS,during my school time in Malaysia, i am not really a person who is good at presentation. I am the most quiet student in the school and every time there is a presentation, i always do very badly.I always get nervous all the time when i come out and face the audience. Because of this, i always can't talk right and can't think of what to say. I think the lack of communcation with my school friends is the main reason i feel nervous.

In my school, my teachers never taught us about communication and how to do a good presentation. Even for my English teacher, she worry more about her students grades instead of other non academic stuff that is important to students.This is also another reason why i do badly in presentation.

It is hard to believe that a person like me that is very bad at presentation can change into a good speaker in such a short time in university. I am proud of myself because i am able to change my weakness into a strength.
