This document provides guidelines for presentation etiquette in three main sections: Beginning, Middle, and End. In the Beginning section, it recommends greeting the audience, introducing yourself and topic, and outlining the presentation structure. The Middle section advises delivering the script audibly while changing slides and pointing out key points. It also suggests inviting other presenters on stage politely. In the End section, it states to summarize the discussion, thank the audience, answer any questions, and thank the audience again.

1. PRESENTATION ETIQUETTE
COURSE: ENG105
COURSE TEACHER: NODI ISLAM (NDI)

2. BEGINNING
• Greeting- Greet the audience/teacher/guests
• Proper address- Address the audience with proper title
• Good morning/noon/afternoon (better to be religion neutral)

3. • Introduce yourself and other team members (if you have any)
• Announce the topic title
• Tell them where you’re focusing (if you have any particular point)
• Tell them about the limitation (if you have any)
• Tell them about the time duration

4. • Talk about the media you’re using (multimedia/poster/others)
• Talk about the division of the presentation (one/two/three parts)
• Talk about who’s presenting which part (if necessary)
• Ask the audience if you’re audible in the back

5. MIDDLE
• Start the presentation with proper tone/words, e.g., “so now I’m moving onto…”
• Deliver your script in audible tone/pitch
• Don’t make it sound over dramatic
• You may want to change the slides in between and while changing inform the audience

6. • Try to point out some points in the slide/poster which you’re talking about
• Keep balance in what you’re talking about and what you’re showing
• Don’t say unnecessary things
• When you’re done, invite other members on the stage with proper etiquette
• The next member will start with name and his part

7. END
• When you’re done with the presentation, try to summarize the entire discussion.
• Don’t repeat everything in a same manner, just drop points
• Finish within time. If you need some more time, ask the teacher
• Thank the audience at the end
• Ask if they have any questions
• Answer the questions politely and if you don’t know the answer, tell them you may want to discuss it
after the presentation since it’s time consuming (and it’s a trick) and thank again

8. GESTURE AND POSTURE
• Try to maintain eye contact with everyone
• If it’s not possible maintain with a few
• Don’t look upwards/downwards
• It’s suggested not to read out from the script only
• Try to make it sound natural rather than memorized
• Look at the slides from time to time

9. • You can move from one corner to other (like delivering lecture)
• You can use your hands to point at things
• Always keep a calm face but not robotic.
• Smile at the audience from time to time but don’t over-do it
• Do NOT panic and get nervous
• Don’t sweat or tremble
• Remember this presentation doesn’t decide any capital punishment. So relax.

10. ATTIRE
• Try to maintain formal attire for the presentation
• You can be semi-formal when you’re permitted
• Do remember the culture, the proper dress code and color (sometimes)
• Don’t wear anything that is beyond your institutional culture or that doesn’t compliment your presence
• Be comfortable with your attire
