Lecture


During week eight we had a public holiday because of ANZAC day there for Dr. Cripps went through both week eight and nine lectures in week nine’s one.
The week 8 lecture was about power point presentation strategies and how to present oral assessments. We viewed the different types of presentations as well as how to structure one. Things like the introduction, body and conclusion, also using audio and visual aids. Preparing the presentation and yourself was also discussed; Dr. Cripps gave us strategies on self preparation and audience involvement.

Reading Summary:

The online resources for week 8 were some online tutorials designed to improve your power point skills.There were 3 websites on how to give a bad presentation. The first was David A. Patterson Computer Science Division, University of California-Berkeley Circa 1983.His webpage was designed as the 10 commandments, the site was really helpful and i didn't bother looking at the other sites because everything i needed to know was on Pattersons site.
