Importance of Presentations

• Presentations are one of the most common forms
  evaluations in university. Professors like to
  use presentations because it encourages students
  to prove not only that they can understand the
  information learned in class, but also that they
  can apply that information and communicate it
  effectively. Presentation projects also
  encourage students to work together, making for
  collaborative learning. Presentations are also
  very common in the work-world. Many jobs will
  require presenting information to someone. It
  could be to co-workers or managers, for example,
  a proposal. It could also be to clients, for
  example, introducing a new service or product. It
  is very important, then, to make sure you can
  give a clear, effective presentation.
