Section BXZ4A

My favorite freshman seminar class was when we observed two videos of Baruch students making presentations. Too often, what is expected of us in a presentation is just printed out on a sheet. Watching videos of presentations gives a much clearer explanation of what is expected of us. The stronger speaker demonstrated what we should strive for when giving a presentation. She was enthusiastic, knew her informayion and presented it clearly. I think watching a video of someone who made a poor presentation was even more important though. Most of us are likely guilty of mumbling our speeches, not giving direct eye contact and not being prepared. By seeing an example of this we can better improve ourselves. The class discussions involving the two presentations allowed any points we may have overlooked to be brought up. Although I haven’t yet had to make a presentation in Baruch, I am sure this class will have me better prepared for it.
