Problems with giving a presentation Introduction In this proposal I will describe the current situation with regard to giving presentations as part of the final assessment. Moreover, I will end by concluding my recommendations about how to solve the problems. Current situation A survey among students recently showed students have problems with giving presentations in front of other students. The main complaint about giving presentations is that pupils are afraid of standing in front of the entire class. Students are not really confident, they are afraid of other's opinions. Furthermore, the pupils are anxious about the idea of forgetting everything or starting to stutter as a result of their nervousness. Recommendations I would suggest the following to overcome the problems students have with giving presentations: - Before the final presentations, students should be given the chance to practice their presentation in front of a group. - A training course about how to give not only powerful presentations, but also about how to be more confident, should be offered to all students. Final recommendation The results of a questionnaire suggest that a training course would seem the best option, especially a course about how to be more self-assured. All in all, if the school would offer a serie of lessons about the subject, the situation is bound to improve. Hey, it would be really helpful if you could read through this proposal and give soms tips or corrections! This was the assignment I had to do: Students at your college have to give a spoken presentation as part of their final assessment and need some help. The school director has invited you to send a proposal outlining any problems students have with presentations and suggesting how these problems could be overcome. Sincerely, Gina.
