Introduction of the evaluation report
The purpose of this report is to evaluate Harold Heymans’ presentation on artificial intelligence in the hedging business.
In this tekst I will give an enumeration of the strenghts as well as some points of criticism where Harold can improve.
And finally, I will conclude with an overall evaluation of the mentioned presentation.
Strengths of the presentation
First of all, I’m going to reflect on the strengths of his presentation.
Harold was very well prepared and made a clear and good structured Powerpoint presentation.
Also the graph that he used was very obvious.
He started off by introducing himself and clearly describing the situation.
The public could keep its attention to the presentation due to the fact that he was talking loudly and not too fast.
A strong point of his presentation was that he came across very confidentially due to his attitude.
He used a lot his hands and arms during his presentation to clarify his point.
He was trying to make eye contact with the audience.
It was also remarkable how well Harold interacted with the audience during his presentation by asking us some rhetorical questions.
At the end of the presentation it was good that he gave us the opportunity to ask some questions.
During the presentation, I could not hear any grammar mistake.
Points of criticism
That brings me to the next step, a selection of my points of criticism of his presentation.
I think that he was stressed, so he did not stand still always.
I think that this is a point for him where he can work on.
At the moment of showing the graph Harold did not mention what the axis of his graph was representing.
It might have been a good idea to clearly define the x-axis and the y-axis before explaining the graph.
This could possibly make it easier for the audience to understand the graph and it will help him with the explanation of the graph.
For further presentations, I would suggest him to not try to perfectly rattle off his text.
He must try to tell a story but he was so well prepared that sometimes he got lost in trying to perfectly say his text rather than trying to convince me of his point of view.
Conclusion of the evaluation report
In conclusion, Harold did a great job and it was nice to listen to him.
It was clear that he spent a lot of time preparing the presentation.
The result was a well-structured and interactive presentation.
For future presentations, I suggest him to not try to rattle of his text and to stand still, even if he is nervous, because it will come over as more natural.
