Heinz College: Strategic Presentation Skills (feat. Collin Siu, MSPPM 2012)

The purpose of Strategic Presentation Skills, taught by Pamela Lewis and Julia Deems, is to develop strategies that result in data-driven presentations designed to accomplish specific objectives. By the end of the course students are expected to demonstrate ability to do the following:

1. Define a concise presentation objective
2. Analyze the audience to be addressed
3. Anticipate questions likely to be asked by this audience
4. Engage listeners' interest
5. Write a detailed outline that maps out the speaker's logical argument
6. Apply principles of ethos, pathos, and logos in each presentation
7. Design and explain concise, varied visuals
8. Respond confidently to questions during question and answer sessions
9. Speak with authority

In this video, Heinz College student Collin Siu talks about the strengths of the course and the benefits he's experienced from taking it.
