This guide is designed to help you present on your topic in an informative, effective and academic way.
It details why you may be given a presentation as an assignment and lays out the follow steps:
As well as tips and tricks to make you more comfortable with engaging with this kind of work.
A presentation should be treated like any other kind of assignment. It is as important and equal to an essay; the same types of skills you would apply to another piece of academic work -like your research skills and your referencing skills- should be used as you prepare a presentation.
When you are asked for a presentation, you are being assessed on your communication and time management abilities on top of the standards metrics a lecturer would mark your work on.
Presenting is also a beneficial, transferable skill. It is something you will use during job interviews and in the workplace. A presentation as an assignment allows you to practice and perfect these essential skills.
