Pausch received at the end of his lecture, it would be fair to conclude that it had a great impact on his audience. This lecture portrays how the effective use of basic presentation techniques can create a spellbinding effect on an audience. Dr. Pausch’s lecture gave me a new perspective on life and my career goals. One of his quotes that stood out for me was: “Wait long enough and people will surprise you”. I completely agree with this based on the experiences that I have had as a student at Michigan Tech.

The meeting was awkward because none of us knew each other beyond the classroom setting. I came to this meeting expecting to begin brainstorming and considering presentation topics right away in order to get a head start on the presentation. Unfortunately

Making New Hearts: Regenerative Medicine and its History Introduction A man inflicted with cirrhosis sits in the waiting room of a hospital, waiting to hear if they will be granted the liver of an organ donor.

Heart-Healthy Activities for Elderly Parents for Heart Month in San Diego County Heart disease has been a growing concern in the United States for years.

I have been asked in the past to give a class per say on a certain piece of equipment to the nursing staff at a hospital or whoever is going to be using it. The first time I did such a class, I wrote what I

My current practice setting is primarily based out of the hospital and quality care measures as well as cost analyses are certainly of big concern this day and time. Providers are constantly making sure that all "quality indicators" are present on each and every cardiac consult that is encountered and making sure that the documentation supports the reason why a certain "quality indicator" is not indicated on the individual patient. What I find thought provoking is that although I may discharge a chronic systolic heart failure patient on all the core measure medications and they demonstrated improvement while in the hospital for the 3 to 4 days that they are allowed for that admission, they still bounce right back into the hospital for "congestive

3.Choose one aspect of your presentation and tell me how you will work to improve it for your next presentation. Be concrete. Offer suggestions that you will use for improvement.

To start off, I believe that I had a decent oral presentation, good body language, and provided a good channel of communication. From what I remember, I did not use filler words such as “um,” “uh,” and “like” too often, and also did not pause to find my place in my speech. This allowed my speaking to flow without any unnecessary respites in my presentation and meet the timed goal of less than 5 minutes.

I had a sufficient amount of hand gestures towards my audience and my Powerpoint.

I worked as teaching assistant for Human Physiology at UCSD. Dr. Cooke, the instructor of the course, implemented various in-class techniques as part of an education research project. My goal was to improve the students’ performance by utilizing effective teaching methods and keeping track of their progress. As a teacher assistant, I supervised in class discussions and facilitated the process of learning by addressing students’ questions and concerns. I also led a weekly discussion section, held individual office hours, and ran exam review sessions.

Presentation 1 The first assignment was to prepare an informative speech about our personal experience. The time limit set was 3 minutes. No additional visual or printed material was required. The presentation, unfortunately, was delivered via WebEx platform, and not personally to the audience, which in my opinion has some negative impact on my performance.

• Be sure the participants understand that, again, they will not be using any notes while giving the presentation. Ask participants to present – and record each presentation – inform the participants that they will be stopped at 1 minute. During the feedback processes in the classroom and the video review, be sure to focus on visual delivery skills as well as other skills discussed and practiced up to this
