Question: Part 1 Presentation

During week 6 you will be required to give a brief 5-8 minute presentation to the class explaining either the analysis and conclusion of your essay topic or a detailed description of some aspect of the assignment which you found interesting. You are expected to be an active member of the audience for other student's presentations.

You may use any appropriate presentation technology to support your presentation, but it is up to you to organise anything that is not part of the usual classroom facilities.

Some points to note about your presentation:

You should assume that while the audience is not familiar with the particular case study, they have some knowledge of the fundamentals of Information Technology and Management Information Systems. For instance, while you would not expect to need to explain Porter's Value Chain, you might need to use it to explain your analysis.

Delivery

• Do not read out a prepared speech.

• Do not use slides unless they are needed (tables, graphs, pictures).

• Either use cards (with few words) that are small enough to sit in your hand (business card size is good) or make a sheet with big print headings (and nothing else) and lay it on the table where you can glance at it occasionally.

• Do not block the projector.

Preparation

• Structure your presentation. There is much to be gained from organising what you will say. Make sure you have a suitable introduction and conclusion.

• Prepare your speaker's notes in the form of brief headings, and use these as prompts. If you are familiar with the material (as you ought) then you should be able to talk about it.

• Practice your presentation. If you have not given it out loud (preferably to a friend) you haven't prepared it.

• Slides should support your presentation, not replace it.

• Find an opportunity before your presentation to see how the projection system works.
