Public Speaking Self Reflection Paper
The information in this paper will include the topics of a presentation such as the introduction, body, conclusion, delivery, language, audience and topic, visual aids, and the general evaluation. This paper embraces the thoughts from the presenter, incorporating personal ideas and those of peers and instructors, on how this speech went during each step of the giving process. By reviewing the presentation and accumulating the thoughts of those involved will improve future productions.
Introduction
The intro to this presentation should catch the attention of any doctor who knows about time management. Gaining attention and interest early was a goal in this presentation. The topic to save time and view radiology films from home was clear, and informative. An overview was not given of what would be covered instead the speech flowed into the step by step to view the images from home.
Body
The body of this presentation logically flowed step by step, using PowerPoint to deliver messages clearly and so that the audience could follow along more easily. No misinterpretation was felt regarding the use of language spoken, and the body was delivered well. The steps were clear and concise.
Delivery
When viewing the presentation again, it was rushed from start to finish. The time factor disabled the use of more information being shared. A well defined topic would have solved this problem. Watch out for eye contact, hand gestures, and bouncing around, these were noticed and portrayed poor body language. There were not any pauses due to time constraint. There were times that there could have been a pause to prove a point, or to allow the audience to ask a question or catch up to the speaker.
Language
The language used was appropriate. Due to the recording device used the audience

    What I think I did well about the way I delivered, was that I used an audience to shake my hand. I was showing the audience how El Salvador salute each other. I was making some eye contact with some of the audience, and my vocal was loud enough for the audience to hear me. What I would like to improve upon with regards to my delivery is to have a lot of body movements while give the presentation.…

In “The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint”, Edward R. Tufte suggests that PowerPoint equates bulleting with clear thinking. It does not teach students to begin a discussion or construct a narrative.

    The PowerPoint program developed by Microsoft in 1987 is a technological advancement utilized daily. We use it at work, we use it for school and we see it in other professional environments. This technological tool is very helpful when presenting ideas that otherwise would be hard to put into words or to explain to others without the nifty slides. It seems like everything that involves public speaking nowadays, a PowerPoint presentation is the go-to for it. But sometimes we overuse this tool, taking the effectiveness of it away. In fact, one of the Army’s top commanders, says bluntly, "PowerPoint makes us stupid."…

    My fellow student Chris gave a well-organized and coherently structured speech that followed the guidelines imparted to us in our textbooks. The use of vivid connectives and transitional sentences enabled his speech to flow rather smoothly. Overall he was very successful in conveying his message on smartphones to the audience. Like many of my other classmates, the only problems I picked up on were not in content of the oratory but in rapidity and articulacy – two things than can be attributed to presentation-day jitters.…
