1. Why should even practiced speakers plan their presentations when addressing a business audience instead of just “winging it”?
Consider encouraging the client to remember events from different viewpoints or in different orders. This can lead to improved recall because memory traces are complex and contain various types of information, so altering the perspective may provide different insights
When someone creates a memory, especially one which is a flashbulb, they generally feel confident in what they remember. The events which are especially full of emotion are often recreated with vividness and confidence (Romeu, 2006). These memories however are no more accurate than an everyday memory (Weaver, 1993). Studies show people will forget flashbulb memories at the same rate as other memories. In a study from 2012, researchers looked at the effects of emotional intensity in regards to memory. The subjects were shown a collection of 60 photographs which contained 20 colored dots in the center of the photograph. After viewing the photographs the participants watched a neutral video for an hour and then were ...
I have improved most in the WOVE area of visual communication this semester. Beginning the course, I did not know the correct way to create a powerpoint presentation that supports the speaker without being a distraction. This semester, I learned that only minimal wording is required on the slides to deliver the main points. The majority of the slideshow can be pictures, charts, or graphs, so long as it remains relevant to the topic. I specifically remember using this new technique for my part of the visual analysis presentation, keeping my bullet points to under five words, if possible.
The immigration of Mexicans and Puerto Ricans has brought tremendous talent and great people. However, in the process, the culture of Mexicans and Puerto Ricans are slowly diminishing. The idea of jobs being readily available for immigrants has deprived the culture and saturated the perception of Latin Americans as workaholics. The essays I chose were Puro Border and the Puerto Rican Obituary. Both essays have given context of how Puerto Ricans and Mexicans are slowly losing their identity in this great America. Also in this essay I will be explaining how material wealth can cause the border to become a vacuum.
The quote comes from an interview that was conducted for the Frontline presentation A Dangerous Business Revisited. The quote comes from David Uhlmann, chief of the Department of Justice Environmental Crimes Section.

There were many things I did well involving informative presentation. The first thing I did well was that I turned my outline in on time with the correct format. The second thing I did well was that I kept good posture, didn't have any vocal problems, and gave good gestures. The last thing I did well was that I paced myself and stayed within the time limit.
I have been a student at Heriot-Watt University for two semesters, and over the course of my stay I have grown and learned more than I thought possible. Going through the Approaches to learning program (APL) has taught me so much more, like oral presentation skills. It helped me to grow self-confidence. I did not just develop my self-confidence but I have learned here how to search for relevant information relating to the specific topic given and learned critical thinking as well. Most importantly I have learned how important oral presentation is.
Specific purpose: to increase my audience's understanding of how memory functions and how it affects them.
After re watching my own presentation I have noticed many different things that I didn’t think of or notice when I was originally presenting it. While watching it some of the things that I think I did well on where first my talking. This is something that I know I did better on because I did my presentation a little different from everyone else. Another thing that I think worked well for my presentation was the word to picture ratio. I felt like I did a good job not putting my entire script on the screen but enough to give the class a good summery about what I was talking about. Some areas of the rubric that I still think I need to work on is being more specific on answering the essential question making it more obvious as to what my over
My two articles I have chosen to compare are from the ‘The Sun’ and ‘The Times’. They are about a man who has kidnapped an eight-year-old girl, Sarah Payne. The police have recently issued an e-fit picture of the kidnapper to the media. The two newspapers present the story in different ways, therefore, both newspapers have to be attractive to sell well. To be ‘eye-catching’ the layout of the article is very important. ‘The Sun’ has used the e-fit picture of the kidnapper on the front-page, which takes up 75% of the page. However, this is very helpful because even if the paper does not sell the customers will see the e-fit picture. There is a single column along side the picture which is headed by ‘Sarah Payne’, who has been kidnapped. The picture of the kidnapper is very sincere and the man is unshaven making him look evil and scary. The headline is also bold and eye-catching because the black background illuminates the white headline. The headline is put in the form ‘one word, one line’ to make it sound like an instruction:
There are many different ways to train. Indeed, entire books have been written on the ways to deliver training.
