Oral Presentation

An oral presentation involves presenting your research/project findings in front of an audience. It


should be:

• Clear and organized: Introduction, body, and conclusion.

• Supported by visuals: Use slides, charts, or graphs.

• Concise: Stick to the time limit, avoid unnecessary details.

• Engaging: Use eye contact, voice modulation, and gestures.

• Prepared: Practice beforehand, anticipate questions.

Tips:

• Start with a strong opening (quote, question, or data point).

• Keep slides minimal and focused on key points.

• Rehearse with a timer and get feedback.
