I really enjoyed sama's delivery. It was easy to digest; not too fast, not too slow; important ideas/concepts were repeated but not overly so; the choice and sequence of topics covered was very good. Length was just about right too.
I hate it when speakers "over engage" and keep throwing in jokes, personal anecdotes, rhetorical questions, funny slides etc. in a perceived need to keep people's attention. If a presentation's worth listening to, the content (delivered in a friendly and relaxed way) should be all that's needed to keep an audience engaged. If some people haven't got the attention span for that, it's usually their problem not the speaker's.
- giarc 12y agoI think it was a bit choppy, but not distracting by any means. I think having the text is great because it makes the delivery more efficient. All too often presenters, including myself, tend to circle back on a point, even repeating statements as they "find their way" or determine their next point. It can be confusing as a listener and therefore having a script helps to reduce this. The value of this (free!) course and the speakers FAR outweigh any issues with delivery/presentation style etc.
