Public Speaking and Presentations Post-Game Analysis

Course details

If you're able to take the presentation you've designed and built and find out if audience learned what they needed to learn, then no matter who walks out or misses the presentation, you know if they are successful at their job. You know whether you and your presenters met the objectives when you can clearly evaluate whether your audience enjoyed, learned and can use your presentation after it's finished.

Presentation evaluations are important for many reasons. Not only do they find out if the audience enjoyed the presentation and liked the presenter, but most important, if done right, they can help you determine how effective the presentation was.

For example, a presentation evaluation survey can help you determine whether the presentation was effectively taught by discovering such things as whether the concepts of the presentation were well organized or how well the presenter knows the subject matter. Evaluation surveys can also tell you whether the presenter communicated clearly and was easy to understand.

Evaluation surveys can also tell you how effectively the presentation was managed. You can determine whether the presenter's pace was just right, too fast, or too slow. You can also find out if the presenter controlled the audience and kept appropriate focus, or whether the presentation was enjoyable and kept the interest of the audience. You can even find out whether personal attention and extra help were available.
