Today dah 2nd Jan 2015. Bila bukak academic calendar tadi, obviously , next week semester baru utk para juniors  n seniors di bwc. Kat sebelah meja ni , bersusun few stacks of exam papers yg belum diperiksa.Eh, apsal kj last year xsiap2 ni??:)..  alaaa.. chillex......ni semua papers bebudak international.. dorg tgh berjimba kat negara masing2..they'll be back in february.. so , i stil hv an ample time to do d markings.

Btw , utk post kali ni saya nk share tip2 utk buat persediaan project presentation. Sedia maklum ,usually on d 1st week of academic week, saya akan bagi a brief description ttg subjects yg saya ajar to my students.. Saya juga akan bagi branches of assessments , as well as d titles for d  presentation purposes.

So , tips2 ni sy buat utk rujukan kwn2 n my students... Penat sbb stiap tahun,setiap semester ,kena ulang guidelines yg sama. Now, korg refer kat sini je la ek:

Firstly , utk  pastikan your presentation x boring dan mbebankn , make sure anda buat any topic yg anda rasa mmg betul2 minat n tahu d background of it. Senang nnt xdela stress sgt masa cari bahan n masa nk present nnt cpt ler phm soalan dri juri2.ini penting tau.

utk my students,usually , topic mmg saya bg open ..more concentrating on any of currents issues.

Bila dah choose d topic , bahagikn sub2 topics/contents dgn your group members.( ni utk yg buat groupwork).utk yg individual , pastikan anda allocate sub2 topic tu seringkas mungkin.

Then ,lps dpt cari contents/bahan, buat report and power point slides. So kat sini la yg saya nk tgk hasil research dari students/individuals.

Tapi ,kbykn suke buat silap sbb suka sgt letak all texts/paragraph kt dlm satu slides. Habis dihimpit semua. Maybe sbb nk nmpk byk..tpi , actually ianya adlah KESILAPAN yg besar sbb audience can read d whole text dgn sndri.bezanya audience nk pemahaman n summary of the text.. sbb tu la kena present.. if setakat nk baca , ianya akan buat audience punye attention span akan hilang.

cth lecture slides saya.

Kalo tnye pengalaman saya , I'll try not to talk too long. They say its best to leave your audience before your audience leaves you. So , utk elakkn ini berlaku , letak hanya main points dlm satu slides mengikut subs topic. then u EXPLAIN , serta ELABORATE setiap points ,mnggunakn ayat anda sndiri..xkisahlah berterabur englishnya. yg penting keyakinan anda dlm memahami ape yg nk dibentangkn. 

Usually saya bagi full credits kat sini , more marks wil b given  to compare dgn org yg pandai english tpi byk buat reading instead of explaining. Yg paling teruk , if saya dah pissed off ,sy biarkn presenter baca semua text tu , literally ,saya akn minta presenter utk summarizekn guna ayat sendiri at once..haaaa.terkebil2 gak la nnt kan? Apparently ,masa ni la kita boleh tahu sama ada presenters ni benar2 fhm ape yg dibentangkn atau x. 

Tapi , nk cari keyakinan n kekuatan buat pembentangan tu satu hal gak. Dikenali juga sbg 'Stage Fright'. Kebiasaannya , stage fright ni happen to all of the presenters...termasuk la saya.. even da hari2 buat pon, xbyk..sikit tu ,tetap ade. Cara saya atasi? saya pastikn sy buat persediaan awl.. pastikan semua materials ,handouts ade ..soft copy, buat la backup..kang xde kang,mmg la kalut jadinye.yg penting ,istighfar byk2..better ,  call la mak ayah kita minta their blessings..;)


Utk tarik perhatian audience , pastikn anda mnjadi sekreatif mungkin.. sambil2 tunjuk slides yg ringkas dan padat ,sertakan sekali audio or graphics yg  TALLY  dgn topic yg dibentangkn.. jgn la letak lagu mcm eminem utk presentation psl Child Abuse.. ltkla lagu yg sedap didgr.. attachkn sekali video yg berkenaan..cth if buat pasal flood, sertakn vid flood ..jgn la ltk vid Justin Bibir?motif??  pastikn ni di tayangkn at the end of the presentation.
Yg lain2 , usaha dan tawakal je ya.. insyaallah , dgn persediaan yg awal, rasenye , insyaallah ok2 je tu presentation tu nnt..owhya,utk kenangan , nanti suruhlah kwn2 recordkn video masa pmbntgn..boleh tgk balik slh silap yg boleh dielakkn utk pembentangan di semester/subject2/pmbentangn kerja yg akan dtg.sekian.
