The most nerve wrecking part of the capstone for me will be presenting my project to the judges. I'll know all the information but it'll be hard for me to get it out of my mind clearly in a way the judges will understand what my goal is. I will have a poster that will generally explain the topic. My initial plan was to create a database that I would present through a laptop but now I'm not sure that I would be able to create a database in the time frame that we are given. I think the poster should be attention grabbing so that when the judges walk by they would want to know what the poster is about. The "Presentation Zen" website says that presenting data clearly, visually and simply is the best way to get your point across. I find this to be very true because having too much stuff going in your presentation kind of kills the purpose.

This website talking about managing your fears of presenting. If you look or feel nervous it will show to the audience. Then the audience will focus more on you being nervous rather than what your presentation is actually about.

This website discussed using visual aides and how they should be used. PowerPoints are quite popular in presentations but sometimes the presenter begins to read directly off the slide and it tends to get boring.
How the presenter dresses is a very easy way to help your presentation succeed. If the presenter is dressed professionally it will give a good impression to the audience. Very little things like this can either help you or hurt you.
There are numerous ways someone can enhance their presentations just with a little research.
