The course would be much stronger if there were more resource files. Every presentation slide should include a document with a summarized note of the lecture.

I enjoyed the content and took a bunch of notes which I'll be sharing with others and recommending the course to them. I appreciated the focus on how to overcome nervousness as that always comes up in discussion. I wonder if the section about PPT should be updated with some information on accessibility - ways to make sure everyone in the room can access the material. Finally, knowing where/how to leave a rating and comment is a bit confusing - obviously I found it but the button is a bit hidden on the top right of the screen, maybe you could mention that!

great course. here is what i learn: - when you make a powerpoint, make sure you insert one image that has one idea - practising in front of mirror is unrecommend because you'll be focusing more on you appearance of yourself than your presentation - feedback is important. when you practise ur idea with ur friend make sure you ask them what they remember about your idea

Recording and reviewing parts of your presentation is a highly effective training technique, I found it immensely helpful. Focusing on needs of the audience and using compelling stories to illustrate major points helps address both presenter nervousness and increase audience participation and material retention. Illustrating your major points with pictures and using personal stories to promote understanding and retention might help improve the course.

It was a great lecture to know what to include and what to prepare for the presentation. Although my presentation is going to be in Japanese (my own language), I got great tips for the preparation of my preparation next month. As I am a non-native English speaker, I am sorry I won't be able to show you how my presentation will be in Facebook page. If I get a chance to make a presentation in English I would be happy to upload it on the Facebook page.

Great course for public speaking and techniques and right approaches and principles on Public Speaking and Presentation. Though I have anchored several 6-7 hours competition events such as Swimming and Skating events for students including MC for Sport Day and Valedictory Event, yet I found the course a really boost in my confidence. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to build public speaking skills with confidence and how to train hard. Thank you.

Its good but not give some demo of presentations like small topic presentation. It is helpful for me. Thanks.
By Philip Mark Gutierrez on 11/5/2018
I had a lot of things that I've picked up even though I bench watched this. On my 10 year working experience about 2-3 years of those is teaching students and professionals. I usually don't record myself in a video and watch it, but I'll try it on my free time (alone of course. lol) Thank you for this course and hopefully it will help others have better presentation skills as well.
By Toms Madzulis on 3/19/2018
It was such a great, compressed information on your course. Thank you for that! I wonder why such an information they don't give us on Universities, they push us to cram so much unuseful "stuff" but almost every professor forgets about the BASIC skills. Talking about your presentation. As I am more of visual person, it would be perfect if in the video you showed some stats, graphs, pictures or things that "catch" my eyes.

I saw this course 30mins ago and thought "oh, what can be in it that would engage me to the very end?". Wow, what a wrong thought that was! It was brilliant and enlightening. Now ,at the end of the course, I am thinking that it was really simple and easily adaptable to real-life. It even made me want to write a feedback which I don't normally! I'm really feeling myself lucky to having watched this. Great!
