Presentation
Most presentations are tedious for the viewer. Presenting well is an art, and we have never been taught how to do it. In this workshop we will see a theoretical part with the concepts of public speaking applied to professional presentations, including how to design effective slides, and ideas about persuasion applied to presentations. And another practical part, in which each student will make a real presentation, and will receive personalized feedback from the teacher and all the other students in the course.
Theory: 7 hours
Practice: 2 sessions, each of 1 hour per 4 students.
Who is this course for?
- Any professional who needs to make professional presentations, in person or remotely, with or without visual support.
Student Learning
Students will know how to make presentations that better serve the objective of the presentation, adapted to the audience they are addressing, and with slides designed according to the new paradigm, so far from the old paradigm that unfortunately is still the norm today. Students will know in detail, thanks to the multiple personalized feedback they will receive, which aspects of their own way of presenting are strengths, and which ones need to be improved.
