Provide students face-to-face feedback on their presentation to help them improve their public speaking skills.

/in , /by

Action:

  • Meet with students one-on-one after a presentation to provide your feedback.
  • Ask them what they think went well and didn’t go well.
  • Provide students concrete examples of things what they should continue doing and what needs to change.
  • Ensure that students make notes to record your feedback and help students prioritize the most important changes to focus on for future presentations.

Reason:

  • Students may be able to identify things to improve without help, but your feedback can help identify unexpected challenges and help the student prioritize what needs to change.

Augment students’ self-reflection with your notes to ensure students receive feedback for problems they do not self diagnose.

Action:

  • During students’ presentations, take notes about what they can improve.
  • Ask students to write a reflection after their presentation. If you record student presentations they can write this reflection based upon the video.
  • Return students’ reflection with additional annotations.

Reason:

  • This allows you to provide feedback only for the aspects of the presentation that the student could not self-diagnose as problems.
