On May 8, 2007, Cathy, Jennifer, Hajji and I went to a public lecture at McGill University. The lecture was about "Palliative Care isn't just about Cancer."
It was a quite interesting lecture as our group said in our presentation. A lot of people went to the lecture and they really get involved in it. The lecture started on time, and a host spoke at first. She wasn't a very good speaker, because she was reading her paper and speaks in a low voice. The main part of the lecture was when the speaker Dr. Borasio spoke, he is an expert in palliative care and gave many lectures about it. Although he is a German, he can speak English very well and we can feel that he practiced before the lecture. His PowerPoint was very clear and he gave a lot of examples to support his ideas.
This was a very good experience for us, because after this lecture, we knew what the teacher taught us to do in our presentation was very useful. There was a comparison between the speakers in this lecture. Now I know that in my presentation, I have to be well prepared and instead of reading my notes, I have to present. Being humorous is also very important during speech, so that your audience can concentrate well and get involved. Doing PowerPoint can help the speaker grab the attention of the audience, but never read the PowerPoint, and put only notes in the PowerPoint.
This lecture project made us gain more experience and learned how to use the things that we learnt in class.

Hi Alice, seeing a bad model can teach us that PowerPoint is just for listeners, and ABSOLUTELY not for presenters.
