Oral Reports and Professional ContextsConveying information quickly and
efficientlyVariety of situations: team meetings,
reports to superiors, presentations to clients
Demanded more often than written reports

Know Your AudienceDetermine their technical level: expert,
professional non-expert, student, technician, general
Evaluate their previous experience with the topic
Gauge their attitudes toward the topic Identify the information they need

Text and Visuals

Structuring Technical InformationEmphasize the primary topic structure
of your researchPreview and reviewUse transition words and phrasesSupply a context for clear visuals

Emphasize primary topic structureWritten report components: Introduction,
Technical Description, Process Explanation, Case Study, Conclusions
Oral report components: same topics, different emphasis, reduced form
Overall strategy rather than specific points

Using and Misusing Powerpoint
Sound Effects Won’t Save You!
![Page 19: Designing Oral Reports: Components of effective presentations.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d6a5503460f94a48c9c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Misusing PowerpointUsing PowerPointOverloading slides
![Page 20: Designing Oral Reports: Components of effective presentations.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d6a5503460f94a48c9c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Misusing Powerpoint Overloading slides The problem with overloading slides is that
you may be tempted to cut and paste portions of your report word for word. Those large blocks of texts can’t be easily read and absorbed by your audience, and they also look overwhelming. It’s better to reduce your report text to key words and phrases. But always be sure to spellcheck!

The Presentation Skills You Need:
Space, Voice, and Body
![Page 22: Designing Oral Reports: Components of effective presentations.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d6a5503460f94a48c9c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Presentation Skills: Space
Arrange the room to suit your presentation needs
Check equipment and ensure it is operational; backup plan
Practice with the equipment in presentation conditions
Allow adequate room so you can remain in contact with the audience
![Page 23: Designing Oral Reports: Components of effective presentations.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d6a5503460f94a48c9c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Presentation Skills: Voice
Speak loud enough to be heard, but don’t shout
Try to be conversational, rather than trying to deliver a “canned” speech
Vary voice tone and pitch; avoid a monotone
Let your voice reflect your enthusiasm for the topic
![Page 24: Designing Oral Reports: Components of effective presentations.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d6a5503460f94a48c9c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Presentation Skills: Body
Use hand gestures effectivelyAvoid using gestures just because you
are nervousApproach the audience to emphasize a
point or ideaAvoid shifting or shuffling
