Presentation Checklist
When presenting remember the following points:

Always rehearse with your partner/group beforehand

Ensure that your timing is correct do not go over the time limit
Ensure that all members of the group know each part of the
presentation, not just the part they are presenting
Use sequencing/linking/signposting words to guide the audience so that
they can easily follow you (e.g. Firstly, Secondly, Furthermore, In
addition, Finally,)
Ensure that your language is suitably academic
Use note-cards as a guide rather than using a piece of paper
Try not to look at the projector screen or your notes too much
Try to maintain all-round eye contact
Anticipate questions that the audience may have before the
presentation, so that you are prepared to answer them
Ensure that you have a good introduction greeting the audience,
introducing you and your partner
Ensure that you inform the audience that there will be a question and
answer session at the end of the presentation
Use presentation language and good handover language when handing
over to a co-presenter
Make sure you bring one paper copy of the presentation per presenter
to give to your tutor before the presentation starts
Check the technology in the room before presenting ideally have your
presentation on a memory stick (USB) so that you can use this
In addition, have a back-up copy of your presentation in your email so
that you can also access the presentation via email
