4. Things Done Well…Overall Good Volume  Overall, this was the best skill you all used Many of you had a decent rate (speed)  The times you did not have a decent rate is when you were nervous. Keep practicing Eye contact was ok  Not too many people were just reading from their notes, which was good. Informed of Topic: we knew the topic

5. Areas to Improve or Change Gestures:  Mainly one or two people used some gestures  Others leaned on the table too much  Some of you would hide behind the computer…this shows a lack of confidence in your message Single Eye Contact: look at all of audience Relax and practice so rate is better Know your speech and practice to be CONFIDENT Time: practice, practice…too far over the time limit  Use visual aides (picture, prop, object, PPT, movie) Conclusion and Introduction: be excited, gain attention
