Response to Sergiy Kondrenko

I too will be taking information from this chapter reader to help prepare a quality presentation. While classes both in English and Speech always gave information on "this is what you do," "you should have these visuals," etc., no class has ever provided the WHY. Knowing why certain visuals work better than others do in different situations, and also knowing why a certain style works better than another for different presentations not only helps you buy into the idea but also helps you remember for future presentations. Although I am not promising a perfect presentation, I definitely have the information to translate into skills as I prepare for both the group and individual presentations in this class. English 402 is quite possibly the most usable information I have received in my academic career thus far.
