“Well presented and well done! What I found different about this course was seeing myself presenting in front of an audience and knowing my weak/strong presentation skills. From now on, I will be more confident while presenting, and will always remember to be well-prepared.”
“It was a fantastic experience, learned a lot from the coaches, very detailed and informative. It was fun with hands-on experience using presentations. It will help me greatly as my job is to present about the university to attract students.”
“This was a very good program. I gained some very helpful information and got some excellent feedback to improve my style. What was different about this course was the filming of our presentations and feedback based on that. It is one thing for people to tell you, and another completely different effect to see yourself in action."
“It has been an amazing learning experience. I enjoyed mastering both the presentation, and public speaking skills with joy and passion. It surely has improved my knowledge and skills."
