Presentation skills module:

What are the importance of presentation skills? The short answer: having good presentation skills in life is really important! Knowing how to improve communication skills, whether you are in the classroom or the workplace, is something you will be thankful for when you have to share your ideas with an audience. I really enjoyed this module in particular because I learned instantly what to do. To summarize these are the four most useful things I have learned from the module.

If you command presence you will always be confident when you deliver the presentation and finding your personal style also plays a huge part in being confident when presenting because you have that style down and it is not going to change and you already know that this style has worked before and it should work again. Knowing your content seems obvious but some people just know the content that is in the presentation. You should be familiar with all the underlying topics and ideas in your presentation because if you get asked a question that you don’t know the answer to you will probably lose your credibility. The use of visual aids is also important as is also getting your message out clearly.

Smartphone module:

I though I knew everything about smartphones but it turns out that there is a lot of things I did not know and i just learned from this module. First of all i did not know that when i wear gloves or something that covers my hands or fingers the touch screen does not work because the screen need electrical contact with my finger that was actually new to me. The second thing that was astonishing is that bluetooth was actually named after a nordic king. I learned more about the OLED screens and the processor, turns out that our phones are just mini computers.
