Week three

Lecture

Week three's lecture is on the topic, presentation strategies. Presentation strategies are important when approaching a university assignment, especial an oral assessment as both verbal and visual elements of a presentation allow for a greater understanding of the topic presented. An audience will remember 10% of what they see, 25% of what they see and hear, 40% of what they see, hear and write down and 60% of what they experience interactively. This shows that it pays to include information which is not just in the form of words. An oral presentation should be set up like you would an essay.
