Public Speaking Event

A couple of years ago I attended a public speaking event at Sac State given by the head of the nursing department. I recall this particular event so well because I thought she did such a good job on it. The purpose of her speech was to be informative and I thought she did a great job of giving us all of the information that was so important to us while doing it in a way that was not overwhelming. Part of what made her so great at what she was doing was her use of presentation media. The way she presented her visual images was very effective because she knew how to not put too much information on her slides. Just the most important points were in bullets and each bullet was not too wordy. It added to the speech because there was a lot of information and it was easy to forget, so she showed you the most important points. I don’t think that there was any way that her powerpoint detracted from the speech. The only way she could have improved would have been to put the statistics that she used on the slides in a visual way so that we could more easily understand them, such as in a bar graph.
