Summary of Evaluations
My presentation was on professional issues of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses. I did my evaluation at my church where I brought oatmeal cookies and orange juice and also told the audience they were free to bring their own snacks. I invited and confirmed with four audiences, but unfortunately only two were able to attend. Fortunately two certified nursing assistant were able to attend on time and the presentation continued as planned. The two nursing assistants are interested in becoming family nurse practitioners in future.
The two completed evaluations gave me the insights on how to become a

While doing a presentation I learned personally that I need to focus on the presentation and the audience. For example, I tend to get a bit nervous and because of that I lose my concentration and that makes me stop thinking about what I’m doing and therefore I start to talk faster than I should. So I learnt that I should put a lot of focus in trying to talk slower. I was able to complete my presentation in 35 minutes and the audience was happy that I was able to stay within the time limit.
Depth of Presentation The audience evaluated me as excellent on the depth of the presentation noting that the presentation was well organized with logical flow of ideas, accurate, relevant, well researched covering all the necessary information, thorough, and informative. I agree with the audience as the presentations covered all the areas of what a nurse practitioner entails from the definition, role, scope of practice, education history, patient satisfaction, and quality studies. The audience clearly stated that NPs have come a long way but there is more to be done.

The audience said that at the beginning I seemed nervous and talked a bit faster, but quickly relaxed and transitioned to just right rate and the presentation flowed well. I agree with the audience as I tend to get nervous and talk fast, which makes it hard to hear the words clearly. I think that practice and preparing in addition to relaxing help to better focus and therefore presenting the speech in the right rate. The audience evaluated my presentation as easy to follow and clear and very informative.
I was also nervous about answering the questions at the end of the presentation, but I did well and this provided a perfect opportunity to respond to the audiences questions in a coherent way. I have an understanding that effective presentation is much more than just presenting my ideas or delivering a speech to my audience. It is more about skillful communication and relating to the audience whether few or large. Overall I feel that preparing and delivering the presentation has helped me build my confidence for future presentations. . I reinforced the main ideas at the conclusion of the presentation when I showed the audience a YouTube audiovisual of who can be a nurse practitioner, their role, and where they can work. The experience was positive

    Something that I felt I did well was keeping my composure and using a really good tone of voice. One thing that I needed to work on was my introducing. I played a video clip of a flyover map of Landsmeer Golf Club, which was very interesting and graphic. However, I wish that I would have explained what the video was about before I presented it to my fellow classmates, so that they could get an idea of what my topic was going to be about. Things that happened during my speech was that the USB disk was not connecting correctly and so we had to figure out the technical difficulties before I presented the speech.…

    Personally, I did get quite nervous during the presentation especially when I would completely forget certain things I was going to talk about. Although, I tried the best I could by just taking minimal glimpses of my flashcards and slides to recollect what I was talking about. The presentation video did change my perspective on my performance I got to examine what I did wrong such as my posture, reading off slides, and overall how I presented. Regardless, I still feel like I did a good job compared to previous presentations, but it made me realize that I need to greatly improve my communication…

    I’m familiar with the key concepts of a successful delivery: a sanguine approach to the stage (or podium), a controlled pace, and eye contact. I do believe my preparation of flash cards helped me, although actually practicing with cards, as opposed to my original skeleton-manuscript, probably would have been beneficial. And, as with all my previous performances, the actual reading and speaking went by quickly and smoothly; I do think I could have benefited from more clearly outlining my specific points while talking, and using more emotive gestures, but it seems my message was clearly…

    My core interest talk was about accomplishment and inspiration in my life. It was also about how I became motivated to accomplish what I wanted to do in my life and how I wanted to inspire others like me. During my talk, I really strived to connect with the audience with all the 4 C’s (connection, context, change/climax, and conclusion) in the aspect of storytelling. I also kept fairly calm in my talk and not submitting myself to nervousness. In response to my talks, one of my classroom peers quoted on the peer evaluations that “You followed the 4 C’s and the speech flowed very well and was easy to listen to.”…

    During the presentation, I did notice that my voice, volume, and rate of my voice seemed to be okay. Unfortunately I looked at the computer screen much more than I had hoped that I needed to. I practiced enough to not need to look at it, but when the time came to actually present, I felt more comfortable looking at the words I needed to say as opposed to thinking about it myself. There were points when I was talking and looking at the PowerPoint at the same time also.…

    Areas that I feel like I have improved in during this communications 101 course is becoming more confident in speaking in front of a small crowd, learning how to write speeches, and learning how to research and prepare for speeches. Everyone 's fear is public speaking. I avoided taking this class for the longest time just because I did not want to have to take a class where its entirety was just about speaking in front of people and doing a handful of speeches being my primary grade. I needed to take this class for when I transfer over to Arizona State University in the fall of 2017 so getting this class out of the way now at the University of Nevada was more of an ideal plan rather than taking it at ASU. This class is a core pre-requisite…

    Up during my speech specificly the last one, i felt super nervous, but looking back i appeared confident and great body gestures. The one thing that doesn 't surprise me is that in all my speeches i managed to have a great tone of voice and enthusiasm. Personally my strongest performance had to be the persuasive speech, after looking at it i noticed i looked the most confident, my content, my structure, and my transitions were spot on. My weekest performance however was my first speech, i looked so nervous, i had very little content, i was not into the speech, no transitions, and like i said i learned a lot from this…

    Throughout the year, as a class we have been given many different challenges in either the form of an essay, speech, or group presentation. The final assignment given to us was a group project presentation. From growing up in an age filled with technology, I have come to love projects that revolve around making some form of a PowerPoint presentation. This PowerPoint though, was both difficult and interesting for the reasons of being assigned group members not of my own choosing, learning to listen to others ideas which can help me to learn something new, and using former knowledge while working together to create a clean, in depth, and well prepared presentation. With working in groups of students whom I have known since I was young but…

    My students gave me 73% in that area, I do agree with them because I tend to speak at a very fast pace normally. In addition to this, I was running out of time. Both these factors combined seriously affected the way I took the class. Most of my students also addressed the same issue in their written feedback that I was too fast and they had huge difficulty in following my pace. Approximately 80% of my students felt that I did not engage them and encouraged participation during my presentation.…

    Throughout the course, I learned different aspects of project management, and skills that can be used in the everyday life as long as involve interacting with other people. In this class I learned about how to be a better team member. This semester I was reminded of how important communication is and how people need to keep emphasizing it as one of the most important skills any person could possesses. The personality test was useful, I think it gave all of us a good way to start to see how everyone is different. It made it easier for each of us to better understand one another in how our unique personalities can be a challenge when working with others.…
