Preparing for your presentation

  Check for grammar and spelling errors   Make sure that your presentation is free of any spelling or grammatical errors. Let someone proofread your work. You don't want to be embarrassed by spelling errors during your presentation.  
  Practice your presentation   Practice your presentation by yourself or with a friend. Make sure you keep within the time frame allowed for the presentation. The more you practice it before the time, the more confident you will feel when you give the presentation.  
Have a plan B Technology may let you down so have a Plan B ready. For example, have a paper copy of your presentation and transparencies available for emergencies.
