INTRODUCTORY PART: The participants will watch a short video where a bad and good example of a presentation are shown. The participants are asked to think about the worst and best presentations that they either witnessed or gave themselves.

 Watch two short videos presenting a scientific concept (The Project IDEA, 2017): 

This video shows a student giving both a bad and a good presentation, he uses constructive feedback to improve his presentation skills. The video is used in the Effective Presentations module in the Project I-DEA Curriculum. Unless otherwise specified, the Project I-DEA content is licensed under CC BY 4.0. The Project I-DEA was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and managed by the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges.

FINAL PART:  In small groups, the participants discuss what makes one presentation better than others. 

  • How can bad presentations be improved? 
  • Can they come up with a list of the most important elements of a good presentation?

Discussion: 
Discuss what makes one presentation better than the others? How could the ‘bad’ presentation be improved?
