Carol Noakes on powerful presenting

In the course of  political elections, it is crucial for candidates from all parties to be credible on stage. They are probably coached, but with varying levels of success. Post-debate, their  performances have been analysed on delivery style and content, and it is increasingly apparent that it is important to be aware of what works for you and to apply some fundamental principles that enhance your chance of success. For those of us who might not be running for this election, but who still need to  be credible presenters in our professional lives, here is a starter pack of five of those principles.

Top tips for presenting:

1. Make your audience want to listen from the very beginning. Start with something relevant to them that will capture their interest and intrigue them: they need to know their time with you will have a benefit to them. The proposition that you set up in the introduction should be clearly justified in the conclusion.
 
2. Your body language should signal confidence and  relaxation from the moment your audience sees you, so be physically open and check for signs of tension. Stand tall, drop your shoulders and practice  standing evenly on both feet when you are still.
 
3. Include everyone with your eye contact as much as you can. The idea is to feel as if you are having a conversation with each person in the room, so look and sound warm and inclusive.
 
4. Make sure your voice is warmed up and ready to bring your messages to life with variety of pace, pitch, emphasis and intonation. No matter how interesting your content is, if you deliver it in a monotone, the audience will find it hard to stay with you or to remember anything you said. Signal the key phrases with added vocal colour and think  about what you want them to feel at each stage.
 
5. Use prompts as little as you can manage: you should feel secure that you have enough to keep you on track, but not rely on a  full script. The aim is to sound structured but flexible and fresh.

Above all, prepare well and rehearse beforehand, and when you are actually in front of your audience, be authentic and congruent. You can enhance an ordinary argument with great delivery and ruin a great argument with poor delivery, so make sure you aim to combine great content with great  delivery. Listen to feedback, practice, and treat each presentation as an opportunity to create new relationships. Good luck and have a great time.

How To Improve your Study Skills

Study skills are the skills you need to enable you to study and learn efficiently – they are an important set of transferable life skills.

Our pages provide generic study skills advice – appropriate to learners across all disciplines and in different life circumstances: full and part-time students, those returning to education later in life, those engaged in professional development and anybody who wants to learn how to learn 

Key points about study skills:

• You will develop your own personal approach to study and learning in a way that meets your own individual needs. As you develop your study skills you will discover what works for you, and what doesn’t.
• Study skills are not subject specific - they are generic and can be used when studying any area. You will, of course, need to understand the concepts, theories and ideas surrounding your specific subject area. To get the most out of your studies, however, you’ll want to develop your study skills.
• You need to practice and develop your study skills.  This will increase your awareness of how you study and you’ll become more confident.  Once mastered, study skills will be beneficial throughout your life.
• Study skills are not just for students.  Study skills are transferable - you will take them with you beyond your education into new contexts. For example, organisational skills, time management, prioritizing, learning how to analyse, problem solving, and the self-discipline that is required to remain motivated.  Study skills relate closely to the type of skills that employers look for.  (See Transferable Skills and Employability Skills for more.)

Command Prompt full Tutorial for Windows or MAC

Using a Command Line Interface

A CoS126 Introduction

Long ago, before operating systems with graphical user interfaces (GUIs), everyone

used command line interfaces (CLIs). For example, instead of starting a program by

clicking the icon for your program in the Launchpad or whatever new‐fangled

mawhoozawhatzit, you instead typed the name of your program. And instead of

clicking on menus in your program to adjust settings, open files, etc, you could

specify these things as command line arguments.

In fact, expert computer users still use command prompts quite heavily. It’s an

incredibly useful abstraction that you’re now going to begin making use of.

A specific instance of the command line interface is called a “terminal window” by

Mac OS X (which utilizes a version of Unix under the hood), and the term “command

prompt” is used by Windows. The terms are virtually interchangeable. We will use

the term “command line interface” throughout this document.

Learning to fully utilize a command line interface is something that could (and does)

fill an entire book. In this tutorial, we’ll address the key ideas, give a few examples,

and leave you to learn the rest on your own as you choose.

The Basics – Opening the Command Line Interface

In Mac OS X, the terminal application can be found in Applications‐>Utilities‐

>Terminal.

In Windows, it can be found in Programs‐>Accessories‐>Command Prompt.

Note, there are many other ways of accessing the command line interfaces. All of

them are fine to use.

Prompt text

When you open your CLI, the first thing you’ll see is a prompt, i.e. a string of text that

lets you know the computer is waiting for you, the user, to take action.

In Windows, the default prompt is the entire path to your present working directory

(we’ll discuss what that means later) followed by a > sign. For example:

In Mac OS X, the default command prompt is your computer name, followed by the

name of your present working directory, followed by your user name, followed by a
