A FEW PRESENTATIONS GUIDELINES : "Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos.” Stephen Sondheim

REMEMBER!

1. NO APOLOGIZING for any aspect of your presentation. If something is not quite right, DO NOT let your audience know. If something isn’t working correctly skip it (if possible). Speak with confidence and conviction about the project you are presenting. Pretend this is “real world” in the sense that you’re out of school and trying to get funding for a project, and you need to convince your audience to believe you know what you’re doing and that your project is worthwhile.

2. Q&A should include “constructive criticism.” (Constructive criticism is the process of offering valid and well-reasoned opinions about the work of others, usually involving both positive and negative comments, in a friendly manner rather than an oppositional one. The purpose of constructive criticism is to improve the outcome). You are doing each other a great service in discussing the works critically!
