Presentations
Had my dreaded statistically troubled and dreaded presentation on thursday, but guess what, we somehow managed to get through it really well. The comments at the end somehow rekindled the memories of my group's advertising presentation last semester, which left us really delighted.
For advertising, eventhough the presentation was only 5%, we knew that we had put in tooo much work during the process of generating the report, and did not want to screw it up right the end. But for stats this time, it was the total opposite because we knew that we had perhaps rushed this project a little too tight, so we needed whatever marks we could get from the presentation. Furthermore, it was 10%. I'm just glad it all turned out well. Crossing my fingers for this report though.
Received an e-mail from my friend yesterday who informed of another good news. My slackest module, IT1001, actually has a folder called 'hall of fame' in the workbin, whereby all of the best presentations and projects will be uploaded there. And to my surprise but delight, one of our presentations made it in there. It felt real good to actually be the best group out of the entire lecture population. But guess what, with my extreme last minute-ness this semester, guess how long we actually took to prepare the presentation, and with the presentation at 1pm that day, guess what time I started to design the slides. Haha.
It all goes to show, that packaging and presentation matters alot. As much as how cruel and unfair this may sound, I have seen enough to affirm that to quite a certain extend, appearance and first impression always matters. Yes, even in school work and presentations. And its not just the way you present, but even your slides. I feel real blessed to have been given public speaking opportunities since my secondary school days, as I believe that it has really helped me alot in terms of my formal dialogues, interviews and presentations. Similarly, whatever technological skills I have learnt in my poly days has also given me a nice advantage.
Next week will be the final week of my 4th semester, and it has been a really fast semester. Unlike many who are already preparing for their exams, I still have my JS report, my two IT1001 discussions, my NM3219 report (which we so realised we need to redo alot of things, sigh), my NM3217 test, and of course, my NM3217 website and brochure and printer specs. The very sad thing is that the NM3217 stuff are due at the end of reading week. And me being me, I will most probably finish everything only 1 hour before the deadline, meaning that I will only be left with 3 days to study for my finals.
Someone save me.
