Explanation / Answer

Employers are demanding graduates with excellent communication (written, oral, and listening) skills. Thus, a student's presentation in the classroom becomes an important element in delivering positive learning experiences. This paper explored the role of students' presentation in the classroom from students and instructors' perspectives. The results of the study showed that forty-three percent of respondents indicated students were required to present in two classes per semester for an average of 10 minutes. Students and instructors agreed that critical objectives of presentations were to improve communication skills and to train students to talk to a group of people. However, the two groups differed on ranking the presentation evaluation. While instructors ranked "the content of presentation" in the first place, students ranked "the organization of the presentation" as their first choice. Both groups, however, agreed that "well-organized presentation" and "enjoyable content" were the two most important measures of presentation effectiveness. Students' responses showed no statistical significance between the grade assigned and the grade that should be assigned for presentation. While the majority of graduate students (70 percent) reported 11--20 minutes for presentation period, undergraduates indicated 10 minutes (68 percent). Undergraduate students thought handouts were the most important visual aid compared to graduate students who preferred PowerPoint. The paper concluded by providing a checklist of items for effective and ineffective presentations
