Presenting Basic Risk Assessment

The research got off with a passion; considering the quest to bring in a new element to the module I had to present for today, namely-Morden SHEQ Risk Management course tab 5. I searched the net for new ideas like a child who lost a piece of an important item.


Then followed the time to go for dry-runs. Boy, it was the most frightening part of the whole process, standing in front of the team you giggled with a minute before; now you had to present to them as new and total strangers to you.


The results were heartwarming though. Since we had to get to the feeling of knowing the sense of relating the material as the key towards imparting it to our students. The name(s) of other key stakeholders who were to take part in these assessments were introduced, only to find out that only Carel Swartz was the only familiar face to reckon with.


It never made the situation any better; it came out as the best learning experience from which I take had the mistakes which I underwent were not identified there and then, it could have been done an injustice to the whole exercise. Why? 'cause that was the purpose of the whole exercise if I had to develop my presentation skills.


I learned that you have to dress your presentation well, from heading to conclusion. For instance, your heading, contents as well as examples should head the ball home of whatever you want to say.


Saying that which you want say and what you need to say can make a whole difference in the transferring of knowledge from you to the students.


Last but not least, is to prepare thoughroughly; bearing in mind of anticipating troublesome students who happens to know too much than it is expected of them, ultimately defying the reason they are in the class in the first place.


I learned to present...and I am still learning...am going to do so continously...honestly, I loved it.
