Barriers to an Effective Communication (Noise)

Physical Noise (Attention filters) : 1-Nosie,   2-Environment, 3-Interruption, 4-Timing Personal Noise (Emotional Noise) 1-Prejudice and Stereotype,   2-Status,  3-Experience,  4-Assumption,   5-Values and beliefs,  6-Self-centered.  Semantic Noise (Word filters): 1-Different language, 2-Technical terms ( Jarons ),  3-Emotionally-charged word (criticize, moralize, order, threatening, advising, diverting,)

B- While designing your slides: B.1- The first slide should contain a clear topic title, presenter’s names and their affiliation, date, institution’s name and symbol. B.2- The second page should include the objectives of the presentations. The objectives should be clear and coherent. B.3- It is better to use a white background. Very dark background can have a negative effect on the audience. Also the background should not contain too much graphics that can cause distraction..

B- While designing your slides: B.1- The first slide should contain a clear topic title, presenter’s names and their affiliation, date, institution’s name and symbol. B.2-  The second page should include the objectives of the presentations. The objectives should be clear and coherent. B.3- It is better to use a white background. Very dark background can have a negative effect on the audience. Also the background should not contain too much graphics that can cause distraction.

A-Skills Before Designing your presentation: A.1- Analyze your Audience. (Place, Size, Time Limit, Knowledge). A.2- Set S.M.A.R.T objectives. (Specific, Measurable, attainable, Relative, Time bounded).

Scene 6

B- While designing your slides: (Continued) B.4- The slides should not contain a lot of empty spaces. You can increase the font size or combine multiple slides. B.5- The slides should not contain a lot of writing or paragraphs. Just write simple sentences. The audience should be listening to you, not be reading from the slides. B.6- Do not use too much animation while transitioning between points. Just use the simple “appear” animation. B.7-You should add a summary or a conclusion slide. B.8- You should add a last slide indicating that the presentation has ended. (e.g. Thank you for your time,  any questions,  etc …) B.9- The font should be compatible with the room size. For our lecture room, the font  size can be between 24-28. The font type should be clear to read (e.g. Times New Roman)

Scene 7

B- While designing your slides: (Continued) B.10- The style and layout should be consistent for all slides. B.11- Make sure to leave suitable slide margins. B.12- Make sure that the slides aspect ratio is compatible with the screen. B.13-You should rehearse multiple times to make sure the smooth transition between points and to check your timing. B.14- You can prepare note cards to help you memorize what you want to say.

Scene 8

C- While Presenting: C.1- You must try your equipment and settings where you will do the presentation, if possible. C.2-When presenting the objectives of your presentation, make sure to show how these objectives are coherent. C.3- You should not keep reading from your slides, and not be looking at your audience, unless you are explaining something on the screen like a graph. C.4- Do not speak too fast or too slow. Also, do not look like you are just reciting something from memory.  C.5- Do not move too much.

Scene 9

C- While Presenting: (Continued) C.6- Do not ask too much questions to your audience. C.7- Do not speak in a foreign language unless you have to. This can cause the message to be unclear, especially if you have a strong accent. C.8- Do not stand in front of the screen to point something; use a laser pointer. C.9- The speaker should be the one who have control of flipping the slides. C.10- If you are asked a question that you don’t know, simply say that you don’t know. If you are asked a question outside the topic or your answer will be to long, you can reply with a short answer and encourage the person to discuss it with you after the session.

Scene 10

3- Listening Skills 1- Willing, Focusing, and Patience. 2- Avoid communication barriers and selective listening.
