* Oral Presentation tips
   - Content/Organization - organize your ideas so it is easy for the audience to follow your presentation and remember what you said 
   - Poise - stand up straight, don't turn your back on your audience
   - Voice - speak loud enough and clear enough to be heard in the back of the room
   - Eye Contact - look at your audience
   - Preparation -  be prepared: practice your presentation at home
   - Enthusiasm - demonstrate enthusiasm for your topic and others will be excited as well
