Standing in front of an aggregated audience and mumbling into a piece of paper does not mean that you’re giving a presentation. It means you’re standing in front of an aggregated audience and mumbling into a piece of paper. There is a difference.

If you’re reading from a piece of paper, shooting a suspicious glare at the people in the first row (your own group members) once-every-2938529841975023-sentences does not count as maintaining eye contact with your audience.

If you’ve written every single thing you’re going to say out already, please don’t read it at the same rate at which you’d speak it (assuming you’d committed it to memory, which you evidently haven’t, considering the piece of paper flapping in front of you). Generally, human beings don’t read aloud at the same rate at which they speak. Attempting to do so will just result in you stumbling over your words, unless you’ve been through it a few times before, in which case I’m sure you’d have committed it to memory already. And it’s very annoying when you keep stumbling and having to say sorry and backtrack.

When the bell has gone off, it’s time to stop. BZZZZZ! Stop. That’s right. Put the paper down and back slowly away from the podium. That’s a good girl/boy.

Please don’t script cheesy lines like, “I can see the raised eyebrows, but don’t worry - I’m not pro-terrorism or pro-Osama.” No one cares if you are or not, and you didn’t even look up once so don’t give me any bullshit about having seen any raised eyebrows anywhere. The only ones that were raised were because everyone was wondering where you saw your allegedly raised eyebrows - on your script?
