Assignment 2: Introductory Presentation (35%)
Purpose
Presentation skills describe your ability to effectively communicate ideas to the audience. Giving a well thought out,
vocally, and visually appealing presentation to your colleagues, business stakeholders, and customers is a valuable skill in
your career toolbox.
This assignment will prepare you to successfully deliver prepared spoken messages to specific audiences and for specific
purposes. You will apply effective speaking techniques, build your confidence, and manage anxiety. When giving your
presentation, you will also practice using your voice and body language in a manner that engages your audience. You are
encouraged to use visuals to support key messages in your presentation.
