Presentation Skills
I remember when I first came to Canada, I had to do my driver’s test again. I had been driving for 7 years already in England but here, I failed 2 times for not looking in the mirror often enough and not stopping the required distance from the stop line! Obviously, driving had become second nature and I did not think of all the little components. When I put together slideshows, similarly, I often launch straight into them and have to stop myself and remember to take all the steps I should be effective.
I teach a presentation skills class and one of our assignments is a Team Presentation. The first time I did this, it was not very successful. While all the students sttuggled, the large proportion of international students struggles a lot. I have revamped this assignment and broken it down into many small components.
