EditTips

  • Remember to start your lecture with an interesting introduction that draws the attention of your audience.
  • Humor can play a great role in your lecture. But it must be limited. Though, sometimes the lecture can be excellent without going beyond the topic at all.
  • You can make your topic more interesting by picking up some examples of everyday life.

EditWarnings

  • Never choose a topic that can offend your audience. If you make your audience offended, you may find only the chairs and desks to listen to your lecture.
  • Never speak in the same tone and use the same information twice. It makes the audience to doubt about your knowledge on that topic.
