One of the best ways to improve your presentation skills is to watch yourself present: This expands your knowledge about how you are perceived as a public speaker. After you have prepared a presentation for one of the previous exercises, record your presentation in video format. Then, review your presentation, noting what you did well and what you could improve.

As your instructor directs,

a. Write a 500-word email that discusses your strengths and weaknesses as a presenter. Address how you could improve your weaknesses.

b. Prepare a two-minute oral summation for your peers about your strengths and weaknesses.

c. Record the presentation a second time to see if you have improved some of your weaknesses. Present your findings to the class.
