Oral Presentations
 Whether you're giving a presentation to your peers as part of your coursework or speaking at a conference, there are a number of key points to remember when preparing your presentations. These include:
- using visual aids effectively
- structuring your presentation
- making effective use of your voice
- dealing with nerves
- dealing with audience questions.
If you’re presenting to a small audience, it’s common to give each member a copy of your handouts (complete with your contact details). Using objects to emphasise a point you’re making can be a good idea, but remember that it can be disruptive to have too many objects, or large objects, passed around the audience.
