Top 10 List

In MCOM this week, I had my last presentation. I really didn't not like presenting- at all. However, I do feel a lot more confident in my presenting skills and hope that I will be able to remember all the things I've learned for future presentations. My top 10 favorite things I learned in this class are:

1. Know your audience.
2. Know what you are presenting on inside and out.
3. Sometimes, you have to adapt.
4. How to make my resume stand out.
5. Read the rubric if you want to get full points.
6. How to work in a group.
7. Remote meetings are and awesome way to get all your group together
8. Filler words are the devil- don't use them.
9. Know when to use your hands and when to not use your hands.
10. You are not just being interviewed- you are interview them as well.

I really did learn a lot this semester. However, my favorite part of this class was the people in it. I loved how I was able to know everyone's name and was able to joke around and ask for help when I needed it. At BYU, that doesn't happen very often. I wish more classes were like this one. So to all my fellow classmates, thanks for a fun semester! You all are awesome!

Another presentation

As we all know, we had our huge presentation this week. I was absolutely terrified. I felt like it was rushed and that we really were not as prepared as we should have been. In order to really rock your presentation, you have to know what you are talking about. I felt like I personally did not know enough to feel solid in the information I was presenting. Really, you just can't rush confidence. You need to prepare for whatever you are going to present and you need to know inside and out.

I also really wished I had read the rubric for all the assignments. I have missed a lot of points in many of my classes this semester simply because I did not read the rubric. Next semester I hope to do a little better in that regard.
