Presentation Advice for the Struggling Student

By Sandra Carter


For the zealous student sometimes finding the proper topic for a presentation can be difficult. Presentation ideas vary depending on the subject matter. So these are some basic ideas for creating an exciting, enthralling , and informative presentation on any subject. To find 10 000+ presentation topics on assorted subjects, go to AboutTopics.com. And when you've your topic, use next tips to make your presentation right.

I can remember in my undergraduate studies, one of the worst problems students had with presentations is that it can become dull. In one of my women studies classes, I had so much information in my slide show on Women Mystery Writers that the slides were difficult to read and densely packed with information. So tip one is; always use slide shows as bulletin points, with some pieces of important info that determine your presentation ideas.

Tip two is; when you're looking up presentation ideas for your class; consider how much of an impact the topic you're writing about has related to your class. It is exciting to write about Fracking and its environmental impact, but it's not a good presentation idea for a cooking class which is supposed to discuss Flamb or Souffl. But , if you can find a unique way of connecting the 2 concepts (does Hydraulic Fracture Drilling affect how we cook?) it can and will decide how strong a discussion you have and how good a presentation idea it was to present.

Tip three: The most common mistake a presenter can make is to read all their information. Just as presentation slides are designed to be bulletin points, it's good to learn as much as you can about your presentation idea and use note cards or the slides to make you think about your presentation. Particularly if you have to appear informed about the topic; it's one specific thing to go talk with a bunch of college children about Animal Husbandry practices and to have a few note cards with facts and figures on it, it's another to go and speak to real farmers and then to appear like you have copied Wikipedia out as notes. You're not intended to talk at the audience but to interact with the audience.

At last tip four: is to relax, we all make mistakes. Stage Fright can be one of the worst emotions a student can go through, but once you notice that the audience isn't there to bite you, you can dance right through the stage without hesitation.
