Let Us Present

     This week was all about presentations in MCOM 320.  I learned how to effectively stand up in front of people and tell them what I know.  I felt all of the knowledge I gained was common sense, but I did realize that although the keys to success in presenting are common sense, I will, do, and can commit the "sins" of presenting.  A few of these "sins" are lack of or too much hand signing, filler words, and poor use of space.  As I was listening to my teacher talk about the do's and don'ts of presenting I could see that she was using her techniques right in front of us.  When she committed one of the "sins", she would notice it and change her behavior.  I am going to adopt that same attitude in not only presenting but also life.  I am going to be more aware of the things I am doing wrong and make plans to fix them.  I believe the first step to correction is recognizing that you are wrong.  If I start recognizing the things I am doing wrong, I will be taking the first step toward correction.
