Presentation Skills
In today's workplace you can expect to give a presentation. Student's in all disciplines should be able to create and present in an informative manner. This is an essential skill!
Lisa,
This is true, and a need to present a decent presentation!

I see a lot of students reading their material, their notes instead during the presentation itself and not really understanding what they are presenting and not connecting to the audience at the same time. It bothers me when there is that disconnect, thus the presentation loses its value.
Agreed! I teach interior design students, and even if your presentation is not formal, you are required to communicate and defend your ideas consistently in that profession. Our students present their ideas from the first assignment in the first class until they graduate. It is exciting to watch them develop this skill through continued use and practice. Those that are still very nervous are helped by preparing thoroughly and using an outline or note cards to help them stay on track.
