My presentation experience was very strange. Normally, I’m not a person who is willing to present in front of people, so you may as well say I can’t sell. But as an overall experience, I felt that I was evolving. Whereas I would always stutter during a presentation, I felt that I didn’t stutter as much as I would normally do. Although, I still have problems with eye contact, but I’d think it’ll get improved as I continue. I’d say overall, i felt nervous, yet fulfilled
As for my peers, I learned other things, though not what people would surmise as proper learning. Instead of studying the people who were doing good, if not wonderfully, on their presentations, I was learning from the ones who did cause errors. This isn’t me insulting somebody’s presentation style, but like science, when you see an error, you take note of it and ensure you won’t do it again. Public speaking is not something that comes naturally, as some would believe, but if I am to improve my public speaking and presentation style, it is best to know what NOT to do than what to do, because what’s good about knowing exactly how to plan out and present your work when you don’t factor in possible errors that may occur, such as repetition, pacing, tone and eye contact.
