Assessment 3: Individual Presentation (30 points)

Final presentation
- In week 8, you will give a 4-minute presentation in class. The subject of the presentation is you as a beginning communication
professional. For example, think about things such as: Who are you? What is your background? What do you hope to achieve or where
do you hope to end up? What aspects of the profession do you find important or interesting, and what fits you? What is your
perspective on the future? Would you like to end up with a particular kind of company? Are there companies or organisations that you
find interesting or inspiring? Who do you know in the profession? What are your strengths? Etc.
- Make a SPAC analysis of your presentation
- Make a plan of what you want to say (in key words, not a transcript)
- Make a PowerPoint (or Prezi or Keynote)

Self evaluation
- In training session 2, you formulated your individual learning goals. Describe why you chose each learning goal, and what you have
done to try and achieve it during this block.
- Describe to what extent you feel you achieved your learning goals, and explain.
- Describe the feedback you received from your trainer and your buddy. Do you agree? Can you explain their feedback? Did it still apply
to your final presentation? Be specific and use examples (refer to the recording of your presentation).
- Write a conclusion in which you describe what you feel you have mastered (to an extent) and what you want and/or need to improve
or refine. In other words, describe learning goals for the coming year or two. In the second year you will be taught more presentation
skills. But what are you going to do in the meantime to keep practising and improving? Give specific examples.
