Analytical Reflection

In the recent mock presentation, there were a few aspects that requires improvement and fine tuning. Firstly, the delivery of the presentation needs improvement in terms of the way my team and I present the contents and the body language we portray throughout. I felt my delivery could be improved with less pauses to recall a particular point and I could be more lively and enthusiastic. My team could also work on being more lively and adopting a more friendly expression. The body language my team and I portrayed was sometimes not ideal, and it is something that we have to iron out and change, a better posture and hand gestures to emphasize a point or to point towards a direction when necessary would be useful. I believe that our voice and body language is the most important thing in a presentation, how we present ourselves and communicate with the audience will directly affect the outcome of the presentation.

Secondly the preparation for the presentation was inadequate, as my team and I was not well rehearsed and lack being seamless. The PowerPoint slides for the presentation was not well designed and could be improved with tips from Garr Reynolds presentation tips such as, limiting words and bullet points in the presentation slides. I believe that we more rehearsals and fine tuning of the PowerPoint slides my team and I would be able to execute the final presentation well.  


In conclusion, the mock presentation did not turn out as ideal as I imagined it to be, but in the process, I managed to find out what my team and I are require to work on and focus before the final presentation.

  1. Hi Ming Wei,

    I believed that most of us were not ready for the mock presentation too including me as we were still modifying our slide content. I believe that you would do fine for the actual presentation as I've seen you presenting before with confidence. All the best!
