Veja como você pode evitar erros comuns ao avaliar uma apresentação.

Some points to keeps in mind before making a presentation: 1) Keep it short and simple. Avoid using jargons and words that would need someone to look up. 2) Get to the point. Don’t drag along with irrelevant information. Crisp presentations work like magic. 3) For the love of God do not use too many effects in your presentation. You don’t want to make your audience dizzy; no matter how lucrative the designs are. 4) Always mention the source, specially when you’re talking of facts, numbers and figures. 5) I know you have made the presentation from the scratch but double or triple read it. One tends to get snow blinded with one’s own work. Get a fresh pair of eyes, even better.

My advice is to stick to the narrative and avoid clutter by doing the following : - identify the key take home message in one short sentence - communicate the take home message in one of the first slides, preferably the first. (If the take home message is a conclusion that is not appropriate to share upfront, then explain the objective of what question the conclusion will answer) - build the presentation around the take home message - For every bullet or visual aid that you add in subsequent slides, ask yourself "does this support the take home message?" - repeat or paraphrase the take home message at the end

Here's how to avoid typical errors while reviewing a presentation: Maintain objectivity by focusing on the topic rather than personal prejudices. Take notes: Keep a record of essential concepts and examples. Evaluate Structure: Check for clarity and logical flow. Check visual aids: Ensure that the slides are clear and complement the message. Active participation entails paying close attention and asking thoughtful questions. Provide constructive feedback by highlighting strengths and suggesting improvements. Consider delivery: Take note of the presenter's confidence, tempo, and engagement strategies.

The steps to evaluate a presentation in a concise and structured way: 1. Prepare: - Define evaluation criteria - Avoid personal biases 2. Listen: - Pay attention to content - Take notes 3. Evaluate: - Content ( substance, relevance, accuracy) - Delivery (clarity, confidence, engagement) 4. Feedback: - Constructive and specific suggestions - Encourage improvement

Things to aid you: 1. Understand the topic and key elements to look out for. 2. Maintain objectivity even if you have seen great presentations on the same subject. 3. Maintain your focus and jot down points. 4. Look out for creativity in structure and presenting 5. Give constructive feedback and ask for explanations if you aren’t sure of certain aspects of the presentation. 6. Appreciate good work when the need arises.

A well-designed presentation will always be more engaging than a haphazardly designed presentation. The presentation is for the audience - make it appealing.

You can immediately improve your slide presentations with one guideline: each slide should present one and only one idea. Slides are free. You can have as many as you want. I try to change the slide every 20-30 seconds. What isn't free is cognitive memory. Humans can only absorb a small chunk of information at a time. If your slide is loaded with bullet points of juicy information, it can be too much for the audience to take in. They're reading ahead of you, not listening, and then they're waiting for you to catch up. A title that is a full sentence with a subject and verb over a picture that supports the point will communicate visually and verbally in harmony. Spoken words with pictures are proven to communicate most effectively.

El diseño es importante porque se convierte en el complemento ideal de un enfoque adecuado para transmitir ideas, sin embargo, es importante tener en cuenta para el diseño los colores adecuados, imágenes, fotografías para que no se exceda y sean un hilo conductor con lo que se desea comunicar. Muchas veces menos es más, pero con un diseños que logra impacto en tu audiencia.

A well design presentation is always win people heart and give results what is expected. Because your audience see your efforts, prepration, skills or ability. Don't use over images or stylish text in your presentation. Just be simple & authentic. People loved the simple things because it's easy to understand, and easy to implement or remember.

A presentation’s design should enhance comprehension and retention. Evaluate the use of visuals, color schemes, and fonts to ensure they are consistent and professional. Slides should not be cluttered; instead, they should highlight key points with the aid of relevant images or graphics. Effective design supports the message without distracting or overwhelming the audience.

Here the cross cultural differences really play an important role. Someone might be a great presenter but not a fluent English speaker so instead of treating language as an evaluation parameter. One can focus on the content, how it is delivered, how the story is framed, how the dots are connected with each other and how simple the presentation is. It makes your evaluation without any biases.

Presentation style drives the entire presentation: body language, eye contact, voice tone, and facial expressions. In all, carry your audience along in the whole presentation.

We all can enjoy a presenter who stands up and gives an inspiring, sincere, conversational presentation. Many aspiring speakers make the mistaken assumption that these presenters have some innate talent, and can just give an outstanding presentation off the cuff. In order to sound natural and conversational, you have to be very well rehearsed. Some presenters only practice until they have a speech memorized. If you've ever seen someone pause, mentally rewind, then begin again at the start of a paragraph, they've only memorized the words. To succeed, you need to keep practicing past that point, to where you can make a mistake and recover without anyone noticing. When you're well prepared, it's much easier to relax and sound conversational.

One of the contributing factors in making presentations impact full is delivery style. A mix of examples with sound modulation delivering important aspects in high pitch and then readjusting pitch moving forward.

Your tone of voice conveys so much more than your words or the content of your slides. Breathe, enunciate, straighten your back, and keep your shoulders relaxed. You want your audience to trust you.

Audience engagement can often be determined right at the beginning of a presentation. A welcoming presenter creates a space where the audience is comfortable to engage with others and voice out their opinions.

I have always found that a great presentation includes interactive elements like questions, demonstrations, or discussions to keep the audience engaged. If these aspects feel forced or are missing, it suggests a missed opportunity to connect. I recommend finding ways to naturally incorporate interaction or point out moments where the presenter could have invited audience participation to enhance engagement. Bake in questions and make sure they are questions the audience wants to answer, not rhetorical ones that tend to (unintentionally) insult the intelligence of the audience.

Knowing your audience is very important! Find out as much as you can about who is attending your presentation. - What is the expected size of the audience? With small groups there is plenty of opportunity for two-way interaction. With large groups, the communication is almost entirely one-way, and a very different approach is required by the speaker. - What is the average age of the audience? - Has the audience chosen or been asked to, attend? - What do the members of the audience have in common? - What is the cultural make-up of the audience? - Welcome your audience and establish a rapport. - Using eye contact in the audience at every available opportunity. - Involve members of the audience by asking questions at regular intervals.

It's important to make all the audience engaged with you. By asking questions or allowing them to share their thoughts and be a good listener to them.

Time management is key in any presentation. Pay attention to whether you are using your time effectively without rushing or dragging on. A well-paced presentation covers all points while respecting the audience's time. If you notice pacing issues, I suggest looking at which parts could be adjusted to keep a balanced delivery.

As someone who has organized several conferences, I can tell you that the worst thing a presenter can do is go seriously overtime. I've had keynote speakers say "Oh, my, I'm over - hey audience, can I have 5 more minutes?" The audience: "Yaaaayyyy!!!" Then the session ends late (usually 10 minutes). The audience has to get to the next session. Should the sessions start late and end late? Should they end on time to get the agenda back on track? It's essential that you script out your presentations completely, and rehearse them for time. During rehearsal you can change the content and pace. Sticking to the scripted time (not necessarily the words) will ensure you make all of your points at the right time and endear you to those who follow.

Timing is of uttermost importance for a good presentation: Prefer a slower presentation style over a hasty speech. You will lose your audience if you are too fast. Better plan 90-120sec per slide. When planning your presentation, think first of the story line then do the preparation. Example: you have 20min - leaves you with 15 slides. Intro: 2 slides Background: 5 slides Core Content: 5 slides Take Home Message: 2 slides Ending: 1-2 questions

Timing is key from your pacing at any given moment to the overall length of delivery. Calculate each section according to its importance and the number of words used. Record practice runs to see where you are running long or short and refine. Time is in your side if you plan early and practice often.

Es importante que cuando diseñes una presentación tengas en cuanta el tiempo que fue tienes para transmitir tus ideas y que estas sean comprendidas por tu público. Crea un plan B sobre esos slides que son de gran apoyo y aquellos que puedes omitir en caso que el tiempo no esté a favor por alguna situación particular, debes aprender a manejar el tiempo y establecer unas reglas de juego para tu presentación sobre todo si el tema genera dudas y preguntas. Una idea es que podrías dejar un espacio al final de resolución de estas dudas y preguntas para no recortar tu presentación. En el caso que se generen muchas más deja un canal donde las personas puedan enviarlas y a vuelta de correo se resuelven para ser respetuosos con el tiempo de todos.

Actionable feedback is essential. It can be tempting to make someone feel good about themselves by giving praise, what Kim Scott describes as "Ruinous Empathy." Giving generic praise with no constructive feedback makes speakers confident and terrible. If a speaker practices in front of an adoring group of co-workers then gives the presentation to a large, unappreciative audience, the results can be devastating. When giving feedback, be specific, using "I" statements. "I appreciated your gestures that indicated financial growth. I might speak a little more slowly and softly when describing the factors that led to last quarter's disappointing numbers." This emphasizes that this is only your opinion, and not an accusation or objective truth.

Provide specific, constructive feedback focusing on both strengths and areas for improvement. Highlight what was effective and offer concrete suggestions for enhancement. Feedback should be clear and actionable, helping the presenter refine their skills. Positive reinforcement encourages good practices, while detailed guidance on improvements fosters growth and better future presentations.

Couple piece of advice: 1. When seeking actionable feedback, be sure to ask people you trust. 2. Feedback is subjective so not every change must be acted upon. 3. If giving advice, be blunt. Leave no ambiguity in your feedback that can create a misunderstanding for recipient. 4. After you make changes, review it again.

Make a presentation like a conversation. Start with a question to attract audiences from the start. With attractive well organised and straight forward slides. Deliver a message connected that flows between slides like a nice story audience will be attracted and finally, include example and stories to engrave you take home message.

I would know the audience better for their knowledge in the subject. It is important to know what would your audience already be knowing about the subject and what are they looking for from the presentation and would be their new learning from the presentation. Presenting what your audience already know would be waste of time, so keep it simple if you want to, also presenting something that would conflict their knowledge should be handled carefully.

Presentation is a way for you to convey your message to the audience in your own way/style. Try to make it interesting and story-telling. No one would like to listen to book reading. Contents must be relevant and accessible. Put yourself in audience shoes and think, what they really want to know/listen?

Ich empfehle früh am Präsentationsort zu sein. So kann man alles in Ruhe einstellen und austesten, ob die Audios/Videos auch funktionieren. Man hat dadurch auch die Gelegenheit das Publikum beim eintreten zu beobachten und die Dynamik wahrzunehmen. Ähnlich wie es Flugbegleiter:innen machen, besteht dadurch die Möglichkeit zu erkennen, wer potenziell offen für Interaktion ist, mehr Aufmerksamkeit benötigt oder allenfalls eine Schlüsselfigur für den Erfolg der Präsentation sein kann. Als positiver Nebeneffekt kann man auch die Personen gleich Willkommen heissen und den ersten Kontakt herstellen.

You have to look at the value of the presentation content and context, how rich and valuable is your presentation? is it related to the aim and purpose of the presentation? can it improve ongoing research? can it make lives more meaningful? will time spent listening to the presentation be beneficial? or will it add growth to the overall experience gained? these and many more can be basis for evaluating a presentation
