ABOUT THE WRITTEN SELF-CRITIQUE [ on the Informative Presentation]

•   A self critique is a brief analytical essay in which you ANALYZE & EVALUATE the effectiveness of your presentation by adopting the perspective of being a  listener-in-your-own-audience.  It's similar to a personal version of the general "Post Mortem" that we did in class on previous presentations.   
   
• Also, you should apply the criteria & objectives of the course as well as the details/rubric  of the specific assignment in order to consider how effectively you achieved those specifications.

•     Another challenge is remaining objective and trying to see & hear yourself  through the eyes & ears of your audience.

• Base your comments on what you actually HEAR (& SEE) on the recording. You shouldn't include things you THINK that you remember saying or doing. Base your evaluation on the concrete evidence.

• tip:  Avoid using generalized, speaker-centered phrases such as "... and I got my message across ...."  As you probably realize, the only way to know such a thing is by actually surveying your whole audience after a presentation. Also, since there is always going to be a gap between what a speaker ENCODES & what a listener DECODES, you can never be sure that the message that "got across" was exactly the one you intended to communicate.
