Part 1:
- Go back through your presentation, the Q&A, and feedback received and come up with a list of TEN takeaways / lessons learned / things to do differently next time.
- Try to answer questions more directly
- There were times when 3 people on our team answered 1 question which was an overkill, have 1-2 people answer it well and move on
- Use 7 minutes wisely by defining the problem well and clearly stating what we did during fieldwork
- Know everything we put on our slides because that is what the referees will base their questions on.
- Good eye contact, hand movements, and maybe some pacing while presenting. We are not just reading off of a script, we are talking about a project we are passionate about.
- We should explain manufacturing a bit more as well
- We all should try answering more questions
- Stronger outline for future plans
- Have a better closing statement that can stick
- We should sound more excited as we present, since this is our own project that we are all passionate about.
- From the other presentations in your room, list FIVE things that other teams did well that you could learn from.
- We should be more lively as we present
- Some teams were able to cite sources off the top of their head so having a few numbers we memorize is helpful
- We have to solidify what our future plans are, what we need to get there, and what the biggest obstacles are to get there.
- Other teams have much more developed cost analytical slides
- Some teams answered questions much more clearly than we did which is something we must improve upon.
