June 11th Rab's Review on Yesterday's Presentations

Listening to Rab's review on yesterday's presentations made me realize just how much I underestimated the standards of giving presentations. It was especially great to hear Rab's intricate review on my own presentation.
Today, I finally realized what a slideshow actually was for. Before, I had simply thought it was a tool to   help the presenter emphasize points and maybe add a few photos to visualize the talks. However, it is muchmuch more than that. By using slideshows, you can actually control how the audience perceive your whole presentation. From the dopamines to the contrasts, there are so many methods to make your presentation stand out from the crowd and make a point. I mean, lets get real here. Nobody would eagerly choose to sit down for 30 minutes just to listen to the same person talk and talk and talk,,,but with just a bit of a touch in your slides and the way you talk, you'll be able to turn that situation all around. People would start wanting to listen to your presentations. I mean, I listen to presentations on TED not because I should but because I want to, because it's interesting.
I should probably start watching more videos on presentations to learn my skills.

I also can't wait to start taking Rab's presentation courses in the winter term.
