Oral Classroom Presentation Reflection
On Monday, November 6, 2017, during second period, I presented to Mr. Engler’s AP Chemistry
class. I presented in room 252, the AP chemistry lab and classroom in the MST hallway. There
were 16 students present because it is a very small class and that is the amount that is enrolled in
the class. If I could redo my presentation I would talk slower because I could feel throughout the
presentation that I did not take any breaths. I was constantly talking, and I could feel myself
talking too fast, which is never a good sign, especially since you always feel like you are talking
slower than you actually are when presenting. I would also change my interaction with the
audience after the presentation. I waited only a couple seconds and then took my laptop and sat
down. I do not think that I left enough time for the class to ask questions if they had any and I
could I redo it, I would want to leave time for their inquiry. However, the audience did not seem
to have any questions. A lot of the students said that the presentation was very nicely organized
and presented. However, they have the same opinion as me, and said that I could have spoken a
little slower or taken a breath between concepts. The students did comment that my attire was
appropriate for the presentation and that my explanation of terms and concepts throughout the
powerpoint was very effective and clear. This made the information presented easy to understand
and follow, even though I was talking relatively fast. They also responded that I seemed prepared
and knowledgeable on my topic because of the smoothness of my speaking and the fact that I did
not rely on reading the slides for the information. Through this experience I have noticed that I
have become a much stronger speaker. I am able to more smoothly transition between topics and
explain information without hesitating. This makes the presentation sound more prepared and the
presenter sound more credible. In addition, I have also improved my speaking skills because I
am able to be heard. I used to speak very softly but I fixed that throughout the presentation
process. I have already grown through this presentation, and I hope to improve my presentation
