Lecture:
For this weeks lecture, Bilal had focused on 'Preparing & delivering a presentation'. He had explained the structure of the presentation. He told us to keep the presentation simple as making it look nice would only waste time and may make it harder to read the text in the presentation. He told us to not use too many words as it should not be overcrowded. I had learnt the difference between a good slide and a bad slide. Bilal told us to use either the fonts Calibril, Ariel, Veranda or nay standard fonts. I usually use Calibril as its my preferred font. This presentation was literally common sense and very easy to understand but one aspect that made me realise that this is a problem is colour. I like using colour in my presentation but then I realised that colour can be distracting and hard to read. This is why we need to make sure to choose a colour that can be read easily and is not annoying. This also links with background as it can cause text to be difficult to read.
For this weeks seminar we have focused on excel activity which comes under what if analysis. Under what if analysis we had to go on scenario manger which we would then put a scenario. The first scenario was original budget as we were focusing on budgeting. we had then made a new scenario
of budget 2 and budget 3 in order to know the different expenditure methods. We used to this in order to see how much money would be used in each budget and which budget would be more affordable. This was a very useful tool that I had learnt and also was very interesting. I had enjoyed today's seminar. We were given two different activities which both I was able to complete during seminar. The first activity that we had done we had done it together as a class with Susie whereas the second one we had done it independently.
Groupwork:
This week Viorica had sent out the presentation slides for all of us to look at and practice our speeches for the presentation. We had a meeting to do practice on the presentation. We had decided to go to learning resource centre where we had practised our presentation three times in order for us to know how long our presentation would last for. Everyone had attended the meeting and we were able to progress with the presentation. However as we were presenting a draft version of our presentation, we had realised that most of the time we were just reading off the paper. We had decided that we would practice our part of the presentation at home and by next week we should be able to make a present. We had a presentation on Monday from Bilal saying that we should memorise the text so this way we would be enable us to use eye contact. Due to we didn't know the presentation by heart, we decided that we would practice it at home first.
