presentation

Speech or talk to an audience.

As an assessment method, presentations are an opportunity to develop, demonstrate, and practice various communication skills to demonstrate a deep understanding and their organisational abilities. A presentation should focus on the learner's ability to synthesise information and make it accessible to their audience. Presentation skills are highly valued in professional settings, so by practising and mastering these skills, learners are better prepared for future career opportunities where effective communication and presentation is paramount. Overcoming the challenges of public speaking by ensuring a safe space and effective feedback helps learners build self-assurance and reduce anxiety about speaking in front of others. Presentations can take various forms, including speeches, debates, lectures, seminars, and specific formats such as pitches, lightning talks, petcha kuchas, and viva voces.
