The Qualities of a Good Presentation

  A good presentation always includes four significant qualities which are purpose, information, persuasion and entertainment.

  First of all, a good presentation must have its own purposes, like an essay has its thesis statement. Purpose is the most important factor because everything in the presentation is supportive of the purpose.   

  Second, information is also a vital part of a good presentation.  The information must be clear and logical.  If the information is not clear or logical, it is easy for the audience to be confused about your presentation which makes the presentation worse.  Also, the information need to be relevant to the presentation at all and not be too complicated so that your audience should be able to comprehend the subject matter by listening to you speak about it.  Information is always important because it is all you show to your audience.  

  Third, the art of persuasion is also important when you do a presentation.  For example, facing to your audience is a good way to show your confidence in your presentation which means more persuasive to your audience.  Body language is also a good way to help you to make the presentation more persuasive.

  Finally, entertainment can attract audience's attention when you do a presentation.  In some situation, entertainment is a good way to make your audience focus on the presentation all the time.  It is clear that a well informative but boring presentation can't well achieve your purpose because your audience might miss some information when they feel boring.

  1. This is a well written post with only minor weaknesses. I really like your third paragraph, which is clearly written and well supported. Your second paragraph needs more detail. I'm not certain that 'entertainment' is the best word for your final paragraph. Maybe 'creativity' or 'interest' would be more suitable. Please indicate who wrote the post. Also, please fix your comments settings in design to make it easy for me to comment. See Computer Lab #1 assignment. 4/5
