Communicative skills

I studied in Academic Communication LSEC N101 by Gregory Vrhovnik. I have improved in this course by knowing how presentations are done such as; make sure to have a good eye contact during the presentation, power point should have key words in each slide to be clever and have practice to know what you want to talk about. Gave more time to practice your voice and try to explain more about the subject. These skills we will use in the future in our presentations to get higher mark and try to be more confident to do a presentation in a perfect way. The biggest challenge in formal communication was how to present in front of our class and talk to them for 4 – 7 minutes. The most frighten was when I talked in front the camera and was recorded.  In the future, I would have more practice and tried to talk to publishing people without a fear and be more confident because am more confident now I can discuss any idea about any subject. Those skills I can use in different aspects in my life such as work interview I will be more confident and I will be able to sell out my C.V. I would thank you MR. Gregory for teaching us.

Formal Presentation

Our presentation took place in 30 May in T005A the participants are Khalid Al-Mourzoqi, Mohammed Al-Rumaith and Hamdan Al-Braiki.

The presentation was on “Global Warming”, and it was about twenty minutes long. All of us had good eye contact during the presentation and my friend Fahed was absent because he was sick.  Hamdan was the second person to speak in the presentation he talked about the “Melting Ice”. I think Hamdan was a little nervous, because subject was difficult and he doesn’t know how to talk about it. He had done more practice that helped him during the presentation. It gave him more confidence. He presented on smart black board trying to explain more. However, he had excellent body movement and used his hands to make his points clear and he showed all information on power point. In general, he spoke more loudly which do his voice higher also he had learned difficult vocabulary words to use.

This presentation was better than before because we knew the strategy. Now we knew how to do an excellent presentation by more practice and eye contact.

The power point was very clever in general. There were only key words on all slides and the visuals were clear.

Overall, I thought the presentation was very good. It was clearer than before and all of us were happy and comfortable. However, there were still some areas, like the pronunciation, which we should work on in the future.

semi-formal presentation

Our presentation took place in 21 April in T008 the participated was Khalid Al-Mourzoqi, Mohammed Al-Rumaith and Hamdan Al-Braiki.

The presentation was on Iphone vs Galaxy, and it was about ten minutes long. All of us had good eye contact during the presentation and my friend Fahed was confident.  He was the first person to speak in the presentation he introduced everyone and gave the listener an idea what is the presentation was about. I think Fahed was a little nervous, because it was the first presentation he had presented and stood at the side of the screen with his hands down by his side. On the other hand, he had excellent body movement and used his hands to make his points clear and also to show us information on the slides. In general, he spoke at a good volume and rate but he had difficulty saying some of the more difficult English words.

The information in the presentation was mostly clear but unfortunately, a little boring.

The power point was very clever in general. There were only key words on all slides and the visuals were clear. The only thing that was needed improvement was the choice of pictures. They were a little boring and did not make me very interested in what they were saying.

Overall, I thought the presentation was very good. It was clear that they practiced some because they were organized. However, there were still some areas, like the pronunciation, which they should work on in the future.

Note Taker ( Minute )

Our meeting starts on Date 13 March 2011. We had started at 2:20 afternoon, and it ended at 2:40 afternoon. In ADMC – Room W104. Our topic was College gender integration. Our meeting participants was Fahad AlKendi the leader, Khalid ALMarzouqi the note taker, Hamdan Albraiki and Mohammed ALRumaithi are members.

We talked about if integration agenda is a good idea for the college or not and how will it affect the student life. Secondly, we discussed how we could prepare student for that, and what the steps are. In additional, we talked about the student families’ reaction about integration. Finally, we came up with few solutions to make the integration something easier and acceptable.

We had get out in few solutions such as, put a lot of cameras to watch and cover the college to make the college a safe place for both gender. The integration gender is a good thing for HCT. It encourages the student to work harder with Competition between boys and girls. We could we prepare the student to accept gender integration and reduce the disadvantages of it. We will take the recommendation to student council and Mohammed will follow.

College Gender Integration

.

In the meeting, I was responsible of taking notes. My role is to note the main points and the solutions that have been suggested in the meeting by brainstorming with the help of my team. Our meeting was about collage gender integration.

Fahad Al-Kindi, who is the leader of the team, asked the members to brainstorm and prepare different ideas for the meeting. Each member came with ideas and questions.

I had take some notes in this meeting. My first note is making College Gender Integration is a good idea to make a better student life and more competition between boys and girls. The second note is we would have some problems in the beginning but we decided to put a camera in everywhere. Third note is to build each department in own building to build a life student in it, however, the student don’t want the College Gender Integration could have another building study in a normal way.

I believe that the team was satisfied by my work. However, they have asked me to type all the ideas that were mentioned in the meeting even if it is not used.

The members of the meeting faced some problems. One of the problems is they were nervous. This is because this meeting was their first meeting. Also, we had some problems in communication. Some of the ideas were not clear because we could not express our ideas the way we see it.

difficult of speaking in public

Speaking is a conversation between two people or more. Some people are afraid to speak in a public or present themselves to others which it causing to have a difficult problem of speaking in public. I will show you technical ways to do when you present yourself.

There is several ways to connect between people but some of them having a difficult of speaking in public. One of the difficult of speaking in public is speaking slowly and unclear voice because they don’t have confidents on themselves and expires their ideas. Another difficult of speaking in public is anxious and uncomfortable because of lot of people in lecture and consideration to him.

There is several ways to connect between people, the best ways to keep the presenter relax are speak loudly, stand up straightly be confidents on himself, make strong eye contact with them but there some way to psyche yourself out to get some of the anxiety, firstly, take a deep breaths, keep in mind that everybody is nervous you are not alone and dress well to keep your look unique. 

To sum up, the best way to beat this problem is to facing the social community, trying to practice with other people and having a lot of conversations between them, watching how the presenters present their selves and reading more stories and science book.
