Presentations, presentations...I always learn something new when it comes to presentation skills. As Dr. Engelberg recited all the things NOT to do during a presentation I thought back and said "HEY, many professors do those exact same things!" No wonder i'm bored during their classes! As I thought about it, I also realized that the professors that did not use powerpoint or only used the bullet points in powerpoint as cues for talking are those professors that I really enjoyed listening to. Sadly, I'm due to present at my job on some of the health promotion theories soon. Although i'm excited that not only in this class, but in one of my other classes i've learned about presentation skills, i'm still not too sure how I can grab everyone's attention with health promotion theory? Does anyone have any suggestions?
